1 AC Dependency Pair Transformation
The following set of (strict) dependency pairs is constructed for the TRS.

Finiteness for all DPs in combination with the equational DPs is proven as follows.
1.1 Dependency Graph Processor
The dependency pairs are split into 3
components.

The
1st
component contains the

1.1.1.1 AC Dependency Pair Problem is trivial
There are no strict pairs and rules remaining, or there are no DPs remaining. Therefore, finiteness is trivially satisfied.
