(6) 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.

  The graph contains the following edges 2 > 2

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

(9) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

Order:Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(nil) = 0   
POL(rev(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(rev1(x₁, x₂)) = 0   
POL(rev2(x₁, x₂)) = x₂   

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

• REV2(x, ++(y, z)) → REV2(y, z) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
  The graph contains the following edges 2 > 2

• REV(++(x, y)) → REV2(x, y) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
  The graph contains the following edges 1 > 2

• REV2(x, ++(y, z)) → REV(++(x, rev(rev2(y, z)))) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1})
  The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 1

• REV2(x, ++(y, z)) → REV(rev2(y, z)) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1})
  The graph contains the following edges 2 > 1

We oriented the following set of usable rules [AAECC05,FROCOS05].

rev2(x, nil) → nil
rev2(x, ++(y, z)) → rev(++(x, rev(rev2(y, z))))
rev(nil) → nil
