By using the rule removal processor [15] with the following polynomial ordering [25], at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.
Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

C(c(c(b(x)))) → B(c(x))
B(c(b(c(x)))) → A(1, x)
A(1, x) → B(x)
B(c(b(c(x)))) → A(0, a(1, x))
C(c(c(b(x)))) → C(x)
A(0, x) → C(x)


Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(0) = 2   
POL(1) = 2   
POL(A(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + 2·x2   
POL(B(x1)) = 1 + 2·x1   
POL(C(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(a(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + x2   
POL(b(x1)) = 2 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = 2 + x1

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


C(c(c(b(x)))) → A(1, b(c(x)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

A(1, x) → C(b(x))
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(C(x1)) = 1/4 + (1/2)x_1   
POL(c(x1)) = 15/4 + (3/2)x_1   
POL(a(x1, x2)) = (5/2)x_1 + (9/4)x_2   
POL(A(x1, x2)) = 1/4 + (3/4)x_2   
POL(b(x1)) = (3/2)x_1   
POL(1) = 3/2   
POL(0) = 15/4   
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 15/32.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

a(0, x) → c(c(x))
b(c(b(c(x)))) → a(0, a(1, x))
a(1, x) → c(b(x))
c(c(c(b(x)))) → a(1, b(c(x)))
