(0) Obligation:

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

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

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:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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 3 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

A(b(b(x))) → A(x)
A(b(b(x))) → A(a(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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.


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

POL(A(x1)) = 0A +
[-I,0A,-I]
·x1

POL(b(x1)) =
/-I\
|1A|
\-I/
 +
/0A1A0A\
|0A0A0A|
\0A-I0A/

POL(c(x1)) =
/-I\
|-I|

/0A0A0A\
|-I-I-I|

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

b(c(x)) → x

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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → x

b(c(x)) → x

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

(9) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
