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

f(a) → g(h(a))
h(g(x)) → g(h(f(x)))
k(x, h(x), a) → h(x)
k(f(x), y, x) → f(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:

F(a) → H(a)
H(g(x)) → H(f(x))
H(g(x)) → F(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(a) → g(h(a))
h(g(x)) → g(h(f(x)))
k(x, h(x), a) → h(x)
k(f(x), y, x) → f(x)

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:

H(g(x)) → H(f(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(a) → g(h(a))
h(g(x)) → g(h(f(x)))
k(x, h(x), a) → h(x)
k(f(x), y, x) → f(x)

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

(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


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

Tags:
H has argument tags [1,0] 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.
H(x1)  =  H
g(x1)  =  g(x1)
f(x1)  =  x1
a  =  a
h(x1)  =  h

Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
a > g1
a > h

Status:
H: multiset
g1: multiset
a: multiset
h: multiset


The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none

(6) Obligation:

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

f(a) → g(h(a))
h(g(x)) → g(h(f(x)))
k(x, h(x), a) → h(x)
k(f(x), y, x) → f(x)

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

(7) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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