(13) UsableRulesReductionPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the usable rules with reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with a polynomial ordering [POLO], all dependency pairs and the corresponding usable rules [FROCOS05] can be oriented non-strictly. All non-usable rules are removed, and those dependency pairs and usable rules that have been oriented strictly or contain non-usable symbols in their left-hand side are removed as well.

The following dependency pairs can be deleted:

FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T9, niltree, tree(T53, tree(T54, T55, T56), T57))) → FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T54, T55, tree(T53, T56, T57)))
FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T9, niltree, tree(T25, niltree, T26))) → FLAT1_IN_GA(T26)
FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T100, tree(T99, niltree, T101), T102)) → FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T100, T101, T102))
FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T128, tree(T124, tree(T125, T126, T127), T129), T130)) → FLAT1_IN_GA(tree(T125, T126, tree(T124, T127, tree(T128, T129, T130))))
No rules are removed from R.

Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(FLAT1_IN_GA(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(niltree) = 0   
POL(tree(x1, x2, x3)) = 2 + 2·x1 + 2·x2 + x3
