(0) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

R(E(x)) → L(E(x))
a(L(x)) → L(Aa(x))
b(L(x)) → L(Ab(x))
R(Aa(x)) → a(R(x))
R(Ab(x)) → b(R(x))
a(L(x)) → b(R(x))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRS Reverse (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We applied the QTRS Reverse Processor [REVERSE].

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

E(R(x)) → E(L(x))
L(a(x)) → Aa(L(x))
L(b(x)) → Ab(L(x))
Aa(R(x)) → R(a(x))
Ab(R(x)) → R(b(x))
L(a(x)) → R(b(x))

Q is empty.

(3) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(Aa(x1)) = 2 + x1   
POL(Ab(x1)) = x1   
POL(E(x1)) = x1   
POL(L(x1)) = x1   
POL(R(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(a(x1)) = 2 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = x1   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

E(R(x)) → E(L(x))
L(a(x)) → R(b(x))


(4) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

L(a(x)) → Aa(L(x))
L(b(x)) → Ab(L(x))
Aa(R(x)) → R(a(x))
Ab(R(x)) → R(b(x))

Q is empty.

(5) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

(6) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

L(a(x)) → Aa(L(x))
L(b(x)) → Ab(L(x))
Aa(R(x)) → R(a(x))
Ab(R(x)) → R(b(x))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

L(a(x0))
L(b(x0))
Aa(R(x0))
Ab(R(x0))

(7) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(8) Obligation:

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

L1(a(x)) → AA(L(x))
L1(a(x)) → L1(x)
L1(b(x)) → AB(L(x))
L1(b(x)) → L1(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

L(a(x)) → Aa(L(x))
L(b(x)) → Ab(L(x))
Aa(R(x)) → R(a(x))
Ab(R(x)) → R(b(x))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

L(a(x0))
L(b(x0))
Aa(R(x0))
Ab(R(x0))

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

(9) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(10) Obligation:

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

L1(b(x)) → L1(x)
L1(a(x)) → L1(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

L(a(x)) → Aa(L(x))
L(b(x)) → Ab(L(x))
Aa(R(x)) → R(a(x))
Ab(R(x)) → R(b(x))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

L(a(x0))
L(b(x0))
Aa(R(x0))
Ab(R(x0))

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

(11) 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.

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

L1(b(x)) → L1(x)

R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:

L(a(x0))
L(b(x0))
Aa(R(x0))
Ab(R(x0))

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

(13) QReductionProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We deleted the following terms from Q as each root-symbol of these terms does neither occur in P nor in R.[THIEMANN].

L(a(x0))
L(b(x0))
Aa(R(x0))
Ab(R(x0))

(14) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

L1(b(x)) → L1(x)
L1(a(x)) → L1(x)

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

(15) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] 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:

  • L1(b(x)) → L1(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

  • L1(a(x)) → L1(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1
