(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:

A__F(f(X)) → A__C(f(g(f(X))))

MARK(f(X)) → A__F(mark(X))
MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(c(X)) → A__C(X)
MARK(h(X)) → A__H(mark(X))
MARK(h(X)) → MARK(X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(f(X)) → a__c(f(g(f(X))))
a__c(X) → d(X)
a__h(X) → a__c(d(X))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(c(X)) → a__c(X)
mark(h(X)) → a__h(mark(X))
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
mark(d(X)) → d(X)
a__f(X) → f(X)
a__c(X) → c(X)
a__h(X) → h(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 5 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

MARK(h(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(f(X)) → a__c(f(g(f(X))))
a__c(X) → d(X)
a__h(X) → a__c(d(X))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(c(X)) → a__c(X)
mark(h(X)) → a__h(mark(X))
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
mark(d(X)) → d(X)
a__f(X) → f(X)
a__c(X) → c(X)
a__h(X) → h(X)

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:
f(x1)  =  f(x1)
h(x1)  =  h(x1)

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

• MARK(h(X)) → MARK(X) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1})
  The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

• MARK(f(X)) → MARK(X) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1})
  The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

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