(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(3) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a(x1)) = 53 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 35 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = 23 + x1   
POL(d(x1)) = 15 + x1   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

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


(4) Obligation:

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

a(x) → d(c(d(x)))
d(d(c(x))) → a(x)

Q is empty.

(5) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(6) Obligation:

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

a(x) → d(c(d(x)))
d(d(c(x))) → a(x)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(x0)
d(d(c(x0)))

(7) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(8) Obligation:

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → d(c(d(x)))
d(d(c(x))) → a(x)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(x0)
d(d(c(x0)))

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(x) → D(x)
D(d(c(x))) → A(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x) → d(c(d(x)))
d(d(c(x))) → a(x)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(x0)
d(d(c(x0)))

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

(11) 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) Obligation:

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

A(x) → D(x)
D(d(c(x))) → A(x)

R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:

a(x0)
d(d(c(x0)))

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

(13) QReductionProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We deleted the following terms from Q as each root-symbol of these terms does neither occur in P nor in R.[THIEMANN].

a(x0)

(14) Obligation:

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

A(x) → D(x)
D(d(c(x))) → A(x)

R is empty.
The set Q consists of the following terms:

d(d(c(x0)))

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

(15) 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:

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

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