(0) Obligation:

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

a(x) → b(c(x))
a(b(x)) → b(a(x))
d(c(x)) → d(a(x))
a(c(x)) → c(a(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(x)) → A(x)
D(c(x)) → D(a(x))
D(c(x)) → A(x)
A(c(x)) → A(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

(6) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We can use the usable rules and reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with the Ce-compatible extension of the polynomial order that maps every function symbol to the sum of its arguments. Then, we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.

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

(8) 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:

  • A(c(x)) → A(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

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

(9) YES

(10) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

D(c(x)) → D(a(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(11) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We can use the usable rules and reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with the Ce-compatible extension of the polynomial order that maps every function symbol to the sum of its arguments. Then, we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.

(12) Obligation:

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

D(c(x)) → D(a(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(13) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


D(c(x)) → D(a(x))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(D(x1)) = x1   
POL(a(x1)) = x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 0   
POL(c(x1)) = 1 + x1   

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

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

(14) Obligation:

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

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

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

(15) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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