(3) TriplesToPiDPProof (SOUND transformation)

We use the technique of [LOPSTR]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
prefix1_in: (b,f)
app3_in: (b,f,f)
Transforming TRIPLES into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

PREFIX1_IN_GA(T5, T7) → U2_GA(T5, T7, app3_in_gaa(T5, X6, T7))
PREFIX1_IN_GA(T5, T7) → APP3_IN_GAA(T5, X6, T7)
APP3_IN_GAA(.(T19, T20), X32, .(T19, T22)) → U1_GAA(T19, T20, X32, T22, app3_in_gaa(T20, X32, T22))
APP3_IN_GAA(.(T19, T20), X32, .(T19, T22)) → APP3_IN_GAA(T20, X32, T22)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
app3_in_gaa(x1, x2, x3)  =  app3_in_gaa(x1)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
PREFIX1_IN_GA(x1, x2)  =  PREFIX1_IN_GA(x1)
U2_GA(x1, x2, x3)  =  U2_GA(x1, x3)
APP3_IN_GAA(x1, x2, x3)  =  APP3_IN_GAA(x1)
U1_GAA(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U1_GAA(x1, x2, x5)

We have to consider all (P,R,Pi)-chains

(9) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

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

  • APP3_IN_GAA(.(T19, T20)) → APP3_IN_GAA(T20)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1
