b(a(b(b(x1)))) b(b(b(a(b(x1))))) (1)
b(a(a(b(b(x1))))) b(a(b(b(a(a(b(x1))))))) (2)
b(a(a(a(b(b(x1)))))) b(a(a(b(b(a(a(a(b(x1))))))))) (3)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) b#(a(b(x1))) (4)
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) b#(b(a(b(x1)))) (5)
b#(a(b(b(x1)))) b#(b(b(a(b(x1))))) (6)
b#(a(a(b(b(x1))))) b#(a(a(b(x1)))) (7)
b#(a(a(b(b(x1))))) b#(b(a(a(b(x1))))) (8)
b#(a(a(b(b(x1))))) b#(a(b(b(a(a(b(x1))))))) (9)
b#(a(a(a(b(b(x1)))))) b#(a(a(a(b(x1))))) (10)
b#(a(a(a(b(b(x1)))))) b#(b(a(a(a(b(x1)))))) (11)
b#(a(a(a(b(b(x1)))))) b#(a(a(b(b(a(a(a(b(x1))))))))) (12)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 3 components.
