We use the reduction pair processor [13].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


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

F(x, f(y, z)) → F(x, y)
F(x, f(y, z)) → F(f(x, y), z)
F(f(a, a), x) → F(a, f(b, f(a, x)))
F(f(a, a), x) → F(a, x)
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
F(x1, x2)  =  F(x1)
f(x1, x2)  =  x1
a  =  a
b  =  b

Lexicographic path order with status [19].
Quasi-Precedence:
a > [F1, b]

Status:
b: multiset
a: multiset
F1: [1]


The following usable rules [14] were oriented:

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