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

f(a, g(y)) → g(g(y))
f(g(x), a) → f(x, g(a))
f(g(x), g(y)) → h(g(y), x, g(y))
h(g(x), y, z) → f(y, h(x, y, z))
h(a, y, z) → z

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

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

f(a, g(y)) → g(g(y))
f(g(x), a) → f(x, g(a))
f(g(x), g(y)) → h(g(y), x, g(y))
h(g(x), y, z) → f(y, h(x, y, z))
h(a, y, z) → z

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(a, g(x0))
f(g(x0), a)
f(g(x0), g(x1))
h(g(x0), x1, x2)
h(a, x0, x1)

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

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

F(g(x), a) → F(x, g(a))
F(g(x), g(y)) → H(g(y), x, g(y))
H(g(x), y, z) → F(y, h(x, y, z))
H(g(x), y, z) → H(x, y, z)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(a, g(y)) → g(g(y))
f(g(x), a) → f(x, g(a))
f(g(x), g(y)) → h(g(y), x, g(y))
h(g(x), y, z) → f(y, h(x, y, z))
h(a, y, z) → z

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(a, g(x0))
f(g(x0), a)
f(g(x0), g(x1))
h(g(x0), x1, x2)
h(a, x0, x1)

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

(5) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

  • F(g(x), g(y)) → H(g(y), x, g(y))
    The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 1, 1 > 2, 2 >= 3

  • H(g(x), y, z) → F(y, h(x, y, z))
    The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 1

  • H(g(x), y, z) → H(x, y, z)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2, 3 >= 3

  • F(g(x), a) → F(x, g(a))
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1
