Input (TPDB TRS_Innermost/Transformed_CSR_innermost_04/Ex4_4_Luc96b_GM)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a__f(g(X),Y) a__f(mark(X),f(g(X),Y)) (1)
mark(f(X1,X2)) a__f(mark(X1),X2) (2)
mark(g(X)) g(mark(X)) (3)
a__f(X1,X2) f(X1,X2) (4)
The evaluation strategy is innermost.

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a__f#(g(X),Y) a__f#(mark(X),f(g(X),Y)) (5)
a__f#(g(X),Y) mark#(X) (6)
mark#(f(X1,X2)) a__f#(mark(X1),X2) (7)
mark#(f(X1,X2)) mark#(X1) (8)
mark#(g(X)) mark#(X) (9)

1.1 Reduction Pair Processor

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[a__f#(x1, x2)] = 2 + x1
[mark(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[f(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1
[a__f(x1, x2)] = 2 + 2 · x1
[g(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[mark#(x1)] = 2 + x1
the pairs
a__f#(g(X),Y) mark#(X) (6)
mark#(f(X1,X2)) a__f#(mark(X1),X2) (7)
mark#(f(X1,X2)) mark#(X1) (8)
mark#(g(X)) mark#(X) (9)
could be deleted.

1.1.1 Reduction Pair Processor

Using the Knuth Bendix order with w0 = 1 and the following precedence and weight functions
prec(g) = 2 weight(g) = 2
prec(mark) = 3 weight(mark) = 1
prec(f) = 0 weight(f) = 1
prec(a__f) = 1 weight(a__f) = 1
in combination with the following argument filter

π(a__f#) = 1
π(g) = [1]
π(mark) = [1]
π(f) = []
π(a__f) = []

the pair
a__f#(g(X),Y) a__f#(mark(X),f(g(X),Y)) (5)
could be deleted.

1.1.1.1 P is empty

There are no pairs anymore.
