We applied the QTRS Reverse Processor [REVERSE].
----------------------------------------

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

   b(a(a(x1))) -> a(c(b(a(b(x1)))))
   a(b(x1)) -> b(b(a(x1)))
   a(c(b(x1))) -> b(a(c(x1)))

Q is empty.

----------------------------------------

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT)
Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.
----------------------------------------

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

   B(a(a(x1))) -> A(c(b(a(b(x1)))))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> B(a(b(x1)))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> A(b(x1))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> B(x1)
   A(b(x1)) -> B(b(a(x1)))
   A(b(x1)) -> B(a(x1))
   A(b(x1)) -> A(x1)
   A(c(b(x1))) -> B(a(c(x1)))
   A(c(b(x1))) -> A(c(x1))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

   b(a(a(x1))) -> a(c(b(a(b(x1)))))
   a(b(x1)) -> b(b(a(x1)))
   a(c(b(x1))) -> b(a(c(x1)))

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

(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT)
We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

   B(a(a(x1))) -> A(c(b(a(b(x1)))))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> B(a(b(x1)))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> A(b(x1))
   B(a(a(x1))) -> B(x1)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering:  Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

   POL(A(x_1)) = 1 + x_1
   POL(B(x_1)) = x_1
   POL(a(x_1)) = 1 + x_1
   POL(b(x_1)) = x_1
   POL(c(x_1)) = 0

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

   a(c(b(x1))) -> b(a(c(x1)))
   b(a(a(x1))) -> a(c(b(a(b(x1)))))
   a(b(x1)) -> b(b(a(x1)))
