Term Rewriting System R:

   [X, Y, Z]
   first(0, X) -> nil
   first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> cons(Y, first(X, Z))
   from(X) -> cons(X, from(s(X)))

Termination of R to be shown.


This program has no overlaps, so it is sufficient to show innermost termination. 


R contains the following Dependency Pairs: 


   FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))
   FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.


SCC1:

FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))

Found an infinite P-chain over R:
P = FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))
R = []
s = FROM(X) evaluates to t = FROM(s(X))
Thus, s starts an infinite reduction as s matches t.


Non-Termination of R could be shown.
