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

*(x, *(y, z)) → *(*(x, y), z)
*(x, 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:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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:
*(x1, x2)  =  *(x1, x2)

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

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

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

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