(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

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 3 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

C(X) → ACTIVATE(X)
ACTIVATE(n__f(X)) → F(X)
F(f(X)) → C(n__f(g(n__f(X))))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(X) → n__f(X)

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.

ACTIVATE(n__f(X)) → F(X)
F(f(X)) → C(n__f(g(n__f(X))))

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: SCNP Order with the following components:
Level mapping:
Top level AFS:
C(x0, x1)  =  C(x0)
ACTIVATE(x0, x1)  =  ACTIVATE(x0, x1)
F(x0, x1)  =  F(x0, x1)

Tags:
C has argument tags [6,0] and root tag 3
ACTIVATE has argument tags [6,0] and root tag 3
F has argument tags [1,0] and root tag 0

Comparison: MAX
Underlying order for the size change arcs and the rules of R:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(ACTIVATE(x₁)) = 0   
POL(C(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(F(x₁)) = 0   
POL(f(x₁)) = 1 + x₁   
POL(g(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(n__f(x₁)) = x₁   

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none

(6) Obligation:

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

C(X) → ACTIVATE(X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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