(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(3) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a(x1)) = 21 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 19 + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = 23 + x1   
POL(d(x1)) = 15 + x1   
POL(f(x1)) = 19 + x1   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

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


(4) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(5) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = x1   
POL(c(x1)) = x1   
POL(d(x1)) = x1   
POL(f(x1)) = x1   
With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

a(a(x)) → c(b(x))


(6) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(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:

B(b(x)) → C(x)
C(d(x)) → F(b(x))
C(d(x)) → B(x)
F(f(x)) → B(f(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(9) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


C(d(x)) → F(b(x))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(B(x1)) = 1   
POL(C(x1)) = 1   
POL(F(x1)) = x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 0   
POL(c(x1)) = x1   
POL(d(x1)) = 0   
POL(f(x1)) = 1   

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

b(b(x)) → d(c(x))

(10) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

B(b(x)) → C(x)
C(d(x)) → B(x)
F(f(x)) → B(f(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(11) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

C(d(x)) → B(x)
B(b(x)) → C(x)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(13) 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.

(14) Obligation:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

C(d(x)) → B(x)
B(b(x)) → C(x)

R is empty.
Q is empty.
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:

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

  • C(d(x)) → B(x)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1
