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

(19) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

For (infinitary) constructor rewriting [LOPSTR] we can delete all non-usable rules from R.

(20) Obligation:

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

APPEND_IN_AAG(.(X, Xs), Ys, .(X, Zs)) → APPEND_IN_AAG(Xs, Ys, Zs)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
APPEND_IN_AAG(x1, x2, x3)  =  APPEND_IN_AAG(x3)

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

(21) PiDPToQDPProof (SOUND transformation)

Transforming (infinitary) constructor rewriting Pi-DP problem [LOPSTR] into ordinary QDP problem [LPAR04] by application of Pi.

(22) Obligation:

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

APPEND_IN_AAG(.(X, Zs)) → APPEND_IN_AAG(Zs)

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