(5) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a_{a_1}(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(a_{b_1}(x1)) = x1

POL(b_{b_1}(x1)) = x1

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x))) → a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x)))))
a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))) → a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x)))))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x)) → b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x)))
a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))) → a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x)))))
b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))) → b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x)))))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x)) → b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(x))) → b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(x))))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x))) → b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x))))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x)))) → b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x))))))
b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x)))) → b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))))))

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

(17) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


A_{A_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))) → A_{A_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x)))))
A_{A_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x))) → A_{A_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(a_{a_1}(x)))))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(A_{A_1}(x1)) = x1   
POL(a_{a_1}(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(a_{b_1}(x1)) = 1   
POL(b_{a_1}(x1)) = 0   
POL(b_{b_1}(x1)) = 0   

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

a_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(x))) → a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(b_{a_1}(a_{b_1}(b_{b_1}(x)))))

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

(19) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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