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

PERM_IN_GA(.(X, Y)) → U1_GA(delete_in_aga(.(X, Y)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

delete_in_aga(.(X, Y)) → U3_aga(X, delete_in_aga(Y))
U3_aga(X, delete_out_aga(U, Z)) → delete_out_aga(U, .(X, Z))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

delete_in_aga(x0)
U3_aga(x0, x1)

We have to consider all (P,Q,R)-chains.
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [15,17,22] contains 0 SCCs with 1 less node.
