(0) Obligation:

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

a(b(x)) → b(a(x))
a(c(x)) → x

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:

A(b(x)) → A(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(b(x)) → b(a(x))
a(c(x)) → x

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

(3) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


A(b(x)) → A(x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: SCNP Order with the following components:
Level mapping:
Top level AFS:
A(x0, x1)  =  A(x0)

Tags:
A has argument tags [1,1] and root tag 0

Comparison: MAX
Underlying order for the size change arcs and the rules of R:
Combined order from the following AFS and order.
A(x1)  =  x1
b(x1)  =  b(x1)

Homeomorphic Embedding Order
The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none

(4) Obligation:

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

a(b(x)) → b(a(x))
a(c(x)) → x

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

(5) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(6) TRUE
