(10) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT)
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.

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

   ACTIVE(f(a, X, X)) -> MARK(f(X, b, b))
   MARK(f(z0, b, b)) -> ACTIVE(f(z0, mark(a), b))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

   active(b) -> mark(a)
   f(X1, mark(X2), X3) -> f(X1, X2, X3)
   f(mark(X1), X2, X3) -> f(X1, X2, X3)

   f(X1, X2, active(X3)) -> f(X1, X2, X3)
   mark(a) -> active(a)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

   active(f(a, x0, x0))
   active(b)
   mark(f(x0, x1, x2))
   mark(a)
   mark(b)
   f(mark(x0), x1, x2)

   f(active(x0), x1, x2)
   f(x0, active(x1), x2)
   f(x0, x1, active(x2))

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

(25) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT)
As all Q-normal forms are R-normal forms we are in the innermost case. Hence, by the usable rules processor [LPAR04] we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.
