(6) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

G(e, g(e, x)) → G(c, x)
G(c, g(c, x)) → G(d, x)
G(d, g(d, x)) → G(e, x)
G(x, g(y, g(x, y))) → G(x, g(y, b))

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

Lexicographic Path Order [LPO].
Precedence:

[e, d, c] > [g₁, a] > b
f₁ > [g₁, a] > b

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

g(c, g(c, x)) → g(e, g(d, x))
g(d, g(d, x)) → g(c, g(e, x))
g(e, g(e, x)) → g(d, g(c, x))
