(0) Obligation:

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

f(g(f(a), h(a, f(a)))) → f(h(g(f(a), a), g(f(a), f(a))))

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(g(f(a), h(a, f(a)))) → f(h(g(f(a), a), g(f(a), f(a))))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(g(f(a), h(a, f(a))))

(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(g(f(a), h(a, f(a)))) → F(h(g(f(a), a), g(f(a), f(a))))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(g(f(a), h(a, f(a)))) → f(h(g(f(a), a), g(f(a), f(a))))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(g(f(a), h(a, f(a))))

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 1 less node.
