(0) Obligation:

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

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(5) MRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the rule removal processor [LPAR04] with the following ordering, at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.
Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

A(a(x)) → B(x)
B(b(x)) → A(x)


Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(A(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(B(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(a(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = x1   

(6) Obligation:

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(7) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(8) Obligation:

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

A(a(x)) → A(b(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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


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

POL(A(x1)) = -I +
[0A,-I,-I]
·x1

POL(a(x1)) =
/1A\
|0A|
\0A/
+
/-I1A-I\
|0A-I-I|
\1A0A1A/
·x1

POL(b(x1)) =
/0A\
|1A|
\0A/
+
/-I0A-I\
|1A0A0A|
\0A1A1A/
·x1

POL(c(x1)) =
/0A\
|1A|
\0A/
+
/-I-I-I\
|-I1A-I|
\0A0A0A/
·x1

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

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

(10) Obligation:

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

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