\begin{frame} \frametitle{Dependency Pairs} Let $t_0$ be a minimal and $t_0 \to_R t_1 \to_R t_2 \to_R \ldots$ an infinite rewrite sequence. \medskip We consider the first root rewrite step $t_i \to t_{i+1}$: \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{../graphics/pstricks/dp_2} \end{center} \vspace{-1em} \pause Then $$t_{0,\#} \to_R \ldots \to_R t_{i,\#} \stackrel{\text{\tiny top}}{\longrightarrow}_{\DP(R)} s_\#$$ \pause Repeating the construction with $s$ yields: $$t_{0,\#} \to_R^* \cdot \stackrel{\text{\tiny top}}{\longrightarrow}_{\DP(R)} \cdot \to_R^* \cdot \stackrel{\text{\tiny top}}{\longrightarrow}_{\DP(R)} \cdot \to_R^* \cdot \stackrel{\text{\tiny top}}{\longrightarrow}_{\DP(R)} \ldots$$ an infinite rewrite sequence containing infinitely many $\DP(R)$ steps. \end{frame}
