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

f(f(x, a), a) → f(f(f(x, a), f(a, a)), a)

Q is empty.

Using Dependency Pairs [1,13] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(f(x, a), a) → F(f(f(x, a), f(a, a)), a)
F(f(x, a), a) → F(a, a)
F(f(x, a), a) → F(f(x, a), f(a, a))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(f(x, a), a) → f(f(f(x, a), f(a, a)), a)

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