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

a__f(f(a)) → a__f(g(f(a)))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(a) → a
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
a__f(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:

A__F(f(a)) → A__F(g(f(a)))
MARK(f(X)) → A__F(mark(X))
MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(f(a)) → a__f(g(f(a)))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(a) → a
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
a__f(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:

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

MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(f(a)) → a__f(g(f(a)))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(a) → a
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
a__f(X) → f(X)

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

(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
MARK(x1)  =  x1
f(x1)  =  f(x1)

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
trivial

Status:
f1: [1]


The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none

(6) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(f(a)) → a__f(g(f(a)))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(a) → a
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
a__f(X) → f(X)

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

(7) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
