The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


F(a, f(a, x)) → F(b, x)
F(c, f(c, x)) → F(a, x)
F(b, f(b, x)) → F(c, x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

F(a, f(a, x)) → F(c, f(b, x))
F(b, f(b, x)) → F(a, f(c, x))
F(c, f(c, x)) → F(b, f(a, x))
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
B1(x1)  =  x1
B(x1)  =  B(x1)
A1(x1)  =  x1
C(x1)  =  C(x1)
C1(x1)  =  x1
A(x1)  =  A(x1)
