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

f(x, empty) → x
f(empty, cons(a, k)) → f(cons(a, k), k)
f(cons(a, k), y) → f(y, k)

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(empty, cons(a, k)) → F(cons(a, k), k)
F(cons(a, k), y) → F(y, k)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(x, empty) → x
f(empty, cons(a, k)) → f(cons(a, k), k)
f(cons(a, k), y) → f(y, k)

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

(3) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the following order and afs together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] to show that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

Order:Homeomorphic Embedding Order

AFS:
empty  =  empty
cons(x1, x2)  =  cons(x2)

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

  • F(cons(a, k), y) → F(y, k) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
    The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 1, 1 > 2

  • F(empty, cons(a, k)) → F(cons(a, k), k) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
    The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 1, 2 > 2

We oriented the following set of usable rules [AAECC05,FROCOS05]. none
