Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

:1(z, +(x, f(y))) → :1(g(z, y), +(x, a))
:1(+(x, y), z) → :1(y, z)
:1(:(x, y), z) → :1(y, z)
:1(:(x, y), z) → :1(x, :(y, z))
:1(+(x, y), z) → :1(x, z)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

:(:(x, y), z) → :(x, :(y, z))
:(+(x, y), z) → +(:(x, z), :(y, z))
:(z, +(x, f(y))) → :(g(z, y), +(x, a))

By using the subterm criterion [20] together with the size-change analysis [32] 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:
