(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(2) Obligation:

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(3) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


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

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

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

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

(4) Obligation:

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

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.

(6) Obligation:

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

A(a(x)) → A(b(a(x)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


A(a(x)) → A(b(a(x)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial Order [NEGPOLO,POLO] with Interpretation:
POL( A(x1) ) = max{0, x1 - 1}

POL( a(x1) ) = x1 + 2

POL( b(x1) ) = max{0, x1 - 2}

POL( c(x1) ) = x1 + 2


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

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

(8) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(9) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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