We applied the QTRS Reverse Processor [REVERSE].

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

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

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

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


Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

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

(8) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(9) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(10) Obligation:

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

A(b(b(a(x)))) → A(c(a(x)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(11) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


A(b(b(a(x)))) → A(c(a(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,0A,-I]
·x1

POL(b(x1)) =
/0A\
|-I|
\0A/
+
/-I0A0A\
|-I-I-I|
\-I0A1A/
·x1

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

POL(c(x1)) =
/0A\
|0A|
\-I/
+
/0A0A0A\
|0A0A-I|
\-I0A-I/
·x1

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

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

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

(13) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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