Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

COND(y, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

min(0, v) → 0
min(u, 0) → 0
min(s(u), s(v)) → s(min(u, v))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

min(s(x0), s(x1))
min(x0, 0)
min(0, x0)

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
The approximation of the Dependency Graph [13,14,18] contains 0 SCCs with 1 less node.
