Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(a, f(a, x)) → f(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
Q is empty.
(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.
(2) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:
F(a, f(a, x)) → F(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
F(a, f(a, x)) → F(f(a, x), f(a, a))
F(a, f(a, x)) → F(a, a)
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(a, f(a, x)) → f(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.
(4) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:
F(a, f(a, x)) → F(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(a, f(a, x)) → f(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].
The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.
F(a, f(a, x)) → F(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO,RATPOLO]:
POL(F(x1, x2)) = x2
POL(a) = [4]
POL(f(x1, x2)) = [1/4]x1
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 3/4.
The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:
f(a, f(a, x)) → f(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
(6) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(a, f(a, x)) → f(a, f(f(a, x), f(a, a)))
Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(7) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
