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

(0)
Obligation:
Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

Q is empty.

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

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT)
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:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT)
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 2 less nodes.
----------------------------------------

(4)
Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(5) MRRProof (EQUIVALENT)
By using the rule removal processor [LPAR04] with the following ordering, at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.

Strictly oriented dependency pairs:

   A(b(x1)) -> A(x1)


Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

   POL(A(x_1)) = 2*x_1
   POL(a(x_1)) = 2 + x_1
   POL(b(x_1)) = 2 + x_1
   POL(c(x_1)) = x_1


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

(6)
Obligation:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

   A(b(x1)) -> A(c(a(x1)))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering:  Matrix interpretation [MATRO] with arctic integers [ARCTIC,STERNAGEL_THIEMANN_RTA14]:

   <<<
 POL(A(x_1)) =  	[[0A]] 	 +  	[[-1A, 2A, -I]] 	* 	x_1
>>>

   <<<
 POL(b(x_1)) =  	[[0A], [-1A], [-1A]] 	 +  	[[-I, -I, -1A], [-I, -I, -1A], [-1A, 2A, -I]] 	* 	x_1
>>>

   <<<
 POL(c(x_1)) =  	[[0A], [-I], [1A]] 	 +  	[[-1A, -I, -I], [-I, -1A, -I], [-I, -I, 1A]] 	* 	x_1
>>>

   <<<
 POL(a(x_1)) =  	[[0A], [-1A], [-1A]] 	 +  	[[-I, -I, -1A], [-I, -I, -1A], [-1A, 2A, -I]] 	* 	x_1
>>>


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

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


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

(8)
Obligation:
Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

(9) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT)
The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
----------------------------------------

(10)
