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

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

Q is empty.

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

(1) 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:

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

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

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

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


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

   C(c(x1)) -> A(b(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]] 	 +  	[[-I, -1A, -1A]] 	* 	x_1
