Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(x, c(y)) → f(x, s(f(y, y)))
f(s(x), y) → f(x, s(c(y)))

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(x, c(y)) → F(x, s(f(y, y)))
F(x, c(y)) → F(y, y)
F(s(x), y) → F(x, s(c(y)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(x, c(y)) → f(x, s(f(y, y)))
f(s(x), y) → f(x, s(c(y)))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 2 SCCs with 1 less node.

(4) Complex Obligation (AND)

(5) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(s(x), y) → F(x, s(c(y)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(6) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

F(s(x), y) → F(x, s(c(y)))

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
F(x1, x2)  =  F(x1)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
c(x1)  =  c(x1)

Lexicographic Path Order [LPO].

P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
