(0) Obligation:

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

app(app(iterate, f), x) → app(app(cons, x), app(app(iterate, f), app(f, x)))

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

(2) Obligation:

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

app(app(iterate, f), x) → app(app(cons, x), app(app(iterate, f), app(f, x)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

app(app(iterate, x0), x1)

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) Obligation:

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

APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(app(cons, x), app(app(iterate, f), app(f, x)))
APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(cons, x)
APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(app(iterate, f), app(f, x))
APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(f, x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(app(iterate, f), x) → app(app(cons, x), app(app(iterate, f), app(f, x)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

app(app(iterate, x0), x1)

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(6) Obligation:

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

APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(f, x)
APP(app(iterate, f), x) → APP(app(iterate, f), app(f, x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(app(iterate, f), x) → app(app(cons, x), app(app(iterate, f), app(f, x)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

app(app(iterate, x0), x1)

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