The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


H(g(x)) → H(f(x))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
H(x1)  =  H(x1)
g(x1)  =  g(x1)
f(x1)  =  x1
a  =  a
h(x1)  =  h

Lexicographic Path Order [19].
Precedence:
a > g1
a > h

The following usable rules [14] were oriented:

f(a) → g(h(a))
