Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(f(a, x), a) → f(f(f(a, f(a, a)), x), a)
Q is empty.
(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)
The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(f(a, x), a) → f(f(f(a, f(a, a)), x), a)
The set Q consists of the following terms:
f(f(a, x0), a)
(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.
(4) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:
F(f(a, x), a) → F(f(f(a, f(a, a)), x), a)
F(f(a, x), a) → F(f(a, f(a, a)), x)
F(f(a, x), a) → F(a, f(a, a))
F(f(a, x), a) → F(a, a)
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(f(a, x), a) → f(f(f(a, f(a, a)), x), a)
The set Q consists of the following terms:
f(f(a, x0), a)
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 3 less nodes.
(6) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:
F(f(a, x), a) → F(f(a, f(a, a)), x)
The TRS R consists of the following rules:
f(f(a, x), a) → f(f(f(a, f(a, a)), x), a)
The set Q consists of the following terms:
f(f(a, x0), a)
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(7) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
As all Q-normal forms are R-normal forms we are in the innermost case. Hence, by the usable rules processor [LPAR04] we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.
(8) Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:
F(f(a, x), a) → F(f(a, f(a, a)), x)
R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:
f(f(a, x0), a)
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(9) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].
The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.
F(f(a, x), a) → F(f(a, f(a, a)), x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO,RATPOLO]:
POL(F(x1, x2)) = x1 + [1/4]x2
POL(a) = [1/2]
POL(f(x1, x2)) = [1/4]x2
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 3/32.
The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:
none

R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:
f(f(a, x0), a)
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
(11) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)
The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
