(0) Obligation:

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

a(x) → x
b(x) → a(x)
b(a(c(x))) → c(c(b(a(b(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:

a(x) → x
b(x) → a(x)
c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))

Q is empty.

(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:

B(x) → A(x)
C(a(b(x))) → B(a(b(c(c(x)))))
C(a(b(x))) → A(b(c(c(x))))
C(a(b(x))) → B(c(c(x)))
C(a(b(x))) → C(c(x))
C(a(b(x))) → C(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → x
b(x) → a(x)
c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))

Q is empty.
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 4 less nodes.

(6) Obligation:

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

C(a(b(x))) → C(x)
C(a(b(x))) → C(c(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → x
b(x) → a(x)
c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))

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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


C(a(b(x))) → C(x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Matrix interpretation [MATRO] with arctic natural numbers [ARCTIC]:

POL(C(x1)) = 0A +
[0A,1A,0A]
·x1

POL(a(x1)) =
/0A\
|0A|
\0A/
 +
/0A-I0A\
|0A0A0A|
\0A-I0A/

POL(c(x1)) =
/0A\
|-I|
\-I/
 +
/-I0A1A\
|-I-I0A|
\-I0A-I/
·x1

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:

c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))
b(x) → a(x)
a(x) → x

(8) Obligation:

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

C(a(b(x))) → C(c(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → x
b(x) → a(x)
c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))

Q is empty.
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.


C(a(b(x))) → C(c(x))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:

c(a(b(x))) → b(a(b(c(c(x)))))
b(x) → a(x)
a(x) → x

(10) Obligation:

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → x

Q is empty.
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.
