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

f(X, X) → f(a, n__b)
ba
bn__b
activate(n__b) → b
activate(X) → X

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
f2 > [a, nb]
activate1 > b > [a, nb]

Status:
f2: multiset

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

ba
bn__b
activate(n__b) → b
activate(X) → X


(2) Obligation:

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

f(X, X) → f(a, n__b)

Q is empty.

(3) AAECC Innermost (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We have applied [NOC,AAECCNOC] to switch to innermost. The TRS R 1 is none

The TRS R 2 is

f(X, X) → f(a, n__b)

The signature Sigma is {f}

(4) Obligation:

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

f(X, X) → f(a, n__b)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(x0, x0)

(5) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(6) Obligation:

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

F(X, X) → F(a, n__b)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(X, X) → f(a, n__b)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(x0, x0)

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

(7) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 0 SCCs with 1 less node.

(8) TRUE
