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

(1) PrologToPiTRSProof (SOUND)
We use the technique of [TOCL09]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:

duplicate_in_2: (b,f)

Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:

Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

   duplicate_in_ga([], []) -> duplicate_out_ga([], [])
   duplicate_in_ga(.(X, Y), .(X, .(X, Z))) -> U1_ga(X, Y, Z, duplicate_in_ga(Y, Z))
   U1_ga(X, Y, Z, duplicate_out_ga(Y, Z)) -> duplicate_out_ga(.(X, Y), .(X, .(X, Z)))

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
duplicate_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  duplicate_in_ga(x1)

[]  =  []

duplicate_out_ga(x1, x2)  =  duplicate_out_ga(x2)

.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)

U1_ga(x1, x2, x3, x4)  =  U1_ga(x1, x4)





Infinitary Constructor Rewriting Termination of PiTRS implies Termination of Prolog

   U1_ga(X, Y, Z, duplicate_out_ga(Y, Z)) -> duplicate_out_ga(.(X, Y), .(X, .(X, Z)))

(3) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT)
Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LOPSTR] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Pi DP problem:

   U1_ga(X, Y, Z, duplicate_out_ga(Y, Z)) -> duplicate_out_ga(.(X, Y), .(X, .(X, Z)))

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
duplicate_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  duplicate_in_ga(x1)

[]  =  []

duplicate_out_ga(x1, x2)  =  duplicate_out_ga(x2)

.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)

U1_ga(x1, x2, x3, x4)  =  U1_ga(x1, x4)

DUPLICATE_IN_GA(x1, x2)  =  DUPLICATE_IN_GA(x1)

U1_GA(x1, x2, x3, x4)  =  U1_GA(x1, x4)

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.
