Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could not be shown:

(0) Obligation:

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

:(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :(:(x, z), :(:(:(x, y), z), u))

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

(2) Obligation:

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

:(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :(:(x, z), :(:(:(x, y), z), u))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

:(:(:(:(C, x0), x1), x2), x3)

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) Obligation:

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

:¹(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :¹(:(x, z), :(:(:(x, y), z), u))
:¹(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :¹(x, z)
:¹(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :¹(:(:(x, y), z), u)
:¹(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :¹(:(x, y), z)
:¹(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :¹(x, y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

:(:(:(:(C, x), y), z), u) → :(:(x, z), :(:(:(x, y), z), u))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

:(:(:(:(C, x0), x1), x2), x3)

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