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

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

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(a) → H(a)
H(g(x)) → H(f(x))
H(g(x)) → F(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

k(x, h(x), a) → h(x)
k(f(x), y, x) → f(x)

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