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

f(s(X), X) → f(X, a(X))
f(X, c(X)) → f(s(X), X)
f(X, X) → c(X)

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:

f(s(X), X) → f(X, a(X))
f(X, c(X)) → f(s(X), X)
f(X, X) → c(X)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(s(x0), x0)
f(x0, c(x0))
f(x0, x0)

(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:

F(s(X), X) → F(X, a(X))
F(X, c(X)) → F(s(X), X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(s(X), X) → f(X, a(X))
f(X, c(X)) → f(s(X), X)
f(X, X) → c(X)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(s(x0), x0)
f(x0, c(x0))
f(x0, x0)

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 0 SCCs with 2 less nodes.

(6) TRUE
