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

f(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → f(x, y, f(z, u, v))
f(x, y, y) → y
f(x, y, g(y)) → x
f(x, x, y) → x
f(g(x), x, y) → y

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(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → F(x, y, f(z, u, v))
F(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → F(z, u, v)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → f(x, y, f(z, u, v))
f(x, y, y) → y
f(x, y, g(y)) → x
f(x, x, y) → x
f(g(x), x, y) → y

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:
f(x1, x2, x3)  =  f(x1, x3)

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

  • F(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → F(x, y, f(z, u, v)) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 3 > 1

  • F(f(x, y, z), u, f(x, y, v)) → F(z, u, v) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2, 3})
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 >= 2, 3 > 3

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