(0) Obligation:

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

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

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

Q is empty.

(3) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a(x1)) = x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 53 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = 35 + x1   
POL(d(x1)) = 23 + x1   
POL(f(x1)) = 80 + x1   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

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


(4) Obligation:

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

f(a(x)) → a(a(f(x)))

d(b(x)) → b(d(x))

Q is empty.

(5) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(6) Obligation:

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

F(a(x)) → F(x)
B(d(x)) → B(a(d(x)))
D(b(x)) → B(d(x))
D(b(x)) → D(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(a(x)) → a(a(f(x)))
b(d(x)) → b(a(d(x)))
d(b(x)) → b(d(x))

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

(10) 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) 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.
