Q DP problem:

(6) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

B(a, b(c(z, x, y), a)) → C(y, z, a)

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

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

[a, f] > [b₂, c₃, C₂]

Status:

C₂: [1,2]
a: []
b₂: [2,1]
f: []
c₃: [3,1,2]

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

b(a, b(c(z, x, y), a)) → b(b(z, c(y, z, a)), x)
f(c(a, b(b(z, a), y), x)) → f(c(x, b(z, x), y))
c(f(c(a, y, a)), x, z) → f(b(b(z, z), f(b(y, b(x, a)))))
