(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

MARK(f(X1, X2, X3)) → MARK(X3)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
MARK(x1)  =  x1
f(x1, x2, x3)  =  f(x3)
ACTIVE(x1)  =  x1
mark(x1)  =  x1
a  =  a
b  =  b
active(x1)  =  x1
c  =  c

Recursive Path Order [RPO].
Precedence:

c > a
c > b

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

active(f(a, b, X)) → mark(f(X, X, X))
active(c) → mark(a)
active(c) → mark(b)
mark(f(X1, X2, X3)) → active(f(X1, X2, mark(X3)))
mark(a) → active(a)
mark(b) → active(b)
mark(c) → active(c)
