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

+(*(x, y), *(a, y)) → *(+(x, a), y)
*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))

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:

+1(*(x, y), *(a, y)) → *1(+(x, a), y)
+1(*(x, y), *(a, y)) → +1(x, a)
*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z))
*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

+(*(x, y), *(a, y)) → *(+(x, a), y)
*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))

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

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z)
*1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

+(*(x, y), *(a, y)) → *(+(x, a), y)
*(*(x, y), z) → *(x, *(y, z))

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

(5) 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:
*(x1, x2)  =  *(x1, x2)

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

  • *1(*(x, y), z) → *1(y, z) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2

  • *1(*(x, y), z) → *1(x, *(y, z)) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1})
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

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