(4) Obligation:

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

A__H(d) → A__G(c)

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.

A__H(d) → A__G(c)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
A__H(x1)  =  x1
d  =  d
A__G(x1)  =  x1
c  =  c
a__g(x1)  =  a__g
a__h(x1)  =  a__h
a__c  =  a__c
mark(x1)  =  mark
g(x1)  =  g
h(x1)  =  h

Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

mark > [a_g, a_h] > g
mark > [a_g, a_h] > h
mark > a_c > d > c

Status:

trivial

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

a__g(X) → a__h(X)
a__c → d
a__h(d) → a__g(c)
mark(g(X)) → a__g(X)
mark(h(X)) → a__h(X)
mark(c) → a__c
mark(d) → d
a__g(X) → g(X)
a__h(X) → h(X)
a__c → c
