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

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

A(f, a(f, x)) → A(x, x)
A(h, x) → A(f, a(g, a(f, x)))
A(h, x) → A(g, a(f, x))
A(h, x) → A(f, x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

A(h, x) → A(f, x)
A(f, a(f, x)) → A(x, x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(f, a(f, x)) → a(x, x)
a(h, x) → a(f, a(g, a(f, 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:
h  =  h
f  =  f
a(x1, x2)  =  a(x2)

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

  • A(f, a(f, x)) → A(x, x) (allowed arguments on rhs = {1, 2})
    The graph contains the following edges 2 > 1, 2 > 2

  • A(h, x) → A(f, x) (allowed arguments on rhs = {2})
    The graph contains the following edges 2 >= 2

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