(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

C(X) → ACTIVATE(X)
F(f(X)) → C(n__f(n__g(n__f(X))))
ACTIVATE(n__f(X)) → ACTIVATE(X)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
C(x1)  =  C(x1)
ACTIVATE(x1)  =  x1
n__f(x1)  =  n__f(x1)
F(x1)  =  F(x1)
activate(x1)  =  x1
f(x1)  =  f(x1)
n__g(x1)  =  n__g
c(x1)  =  c(x1)
d(x1)  =  d
h(x1)  =  h(x1)
n__d(x1)  =  n__d
g(x1)  =  g

Lexicographic Path Order [LPO].
Precedence:

[n_f1, F₁, f₁] > [C₁, n_g, c₁, d, n_d, g]
h₁ > [C₁, n_g, c₁, d, n_d, g]

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

f(f(X)) → c(n__f(n__g(n__f(X))))
c(X) → d(activate(X))
h(X) → c(n__d(X))
f(X) → n__f(X)
g(X) → n__g(X)
d(X) → n__d(X)
activate(n__f(X)) → f(activate(X))
activate(n__g(X)) → g(X)
activate(n__d(X)) → d(X)
activate(X) → X
