(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(2) Obligation:

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

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

The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(b(x0))
c(b(x0))

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) Obligation:

c(b(x)) → b(c(c(x)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(b(x0))
c(b(x0))

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 2 SCCs.

(6) Complex Obligation (AND)

(8) 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.

(12) 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:

C(b(x)) → C(x)
C(b(x)) → C(c(x))


Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(C(x1)) = 3·x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = x1

(21) 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.
