P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

active(f(x)) → mark(x)
top(active(c)) → top(mark(c))
top(mark(x)) → top(check(x))
check(f(x)) → f(check(x))
check(x) → start(match(f(X), x))
match(f(x), f(y)) → f(match(x, y))
match(X, x) → proper(x)
proper(c) → ok(c)
proper(f(x)) → f(proper(x))
f(ok(x)) → ok(f(x))
start(ok(x)) → found(x)
f(found(x)) → found(f(x))
top(found(x)) → top(active(x))
active(f(x)) → f(active(x))
f(mark(x)) → mark(f(x))

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

(41) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
