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

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

Used ordering: Matrix interpretation [3]:
Non-tuple symbols:
M( active(x1) ) =
/0\
\0/
+
/00\
\01/
·x1

M( c ) =
/0\
\0/

M( a ) =
/0\
\1/

M( f(x1, ..., x3) ) =
/0\
\0/

/00\

M( mark(x1) ) =
/1\
\1/
+
/00\

·x1

M( b ) =

\0/

Tuple symbols:
M( MARK(x1) ) = 1+
[0,0]
·x1

M( ACTIVE(x1) ) = 1+
[1,0]
·x1


Matrix type:
We used a basic matrix type which is not further parametrizeable.


As matrix orders are CE-compatible, we used usable rules w.r.t. argument filtering in the order.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

f(X1, X2, active(X3)) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(mark(X1), X2, X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(active(X1), X2, X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, active(X2), X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, X2, mark(X3)) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, mark(X2), X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
mark(c) → active(c)

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

MARK(f(c, c, c)) → ACTIVE(f(c, c, active(c)))
MARK(f(f(x0, x1, x2), f(x0, x1, x2), f(x0, x1, x2))) → ACTIVE(f(f(x0, x1, x2), f(x0, x1, x2), active(f(x0, x1, mark(x2)))))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

active(f(a, b, X)) → mark(f(X, X, X))
active(c) → mark(a)
active(c) → mark(b)
mark(f(X1, X2, X3)) → active(f(X1, X2, mark(X3)))
mark(a) → active(a)
mark(b) → active(b)
mark(c) → active(c)
f(mark(X1), X2, X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, mark(X2), X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, X2, mark(X3)) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(active(X1), X2, X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, active(X2), X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
f(X1, X2, active(X3)) → f(X1, X2, X3)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(active(x0), x1, x2)
f(x0, x1, mark(x2))
mark(a)
f(x0, active(x1), x2)
active(c)
f(x0, x1, active(x2))
f(x0, mark(x1), x2)
mark(c)
mark(f(x0, x1, x2))
active(f(a, b, x0))
f(mark(x0), x1, x2)
mark(b)

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [15,17,22] contains 0 SCCs with 2 less nodes.
