     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

APP(add(n, x), y) -> APP(x, y)
REVERSE(add(n, x)) -> APP(reverse(x), add(n, nil))
REVERSE(add(n, x)) -> REVERSE(x)
SHUFFLE(add(n, x)) -> SHUFFLE(reverse(x))
SHUFFLE(add(n, x)) -> REVERSE(x)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.
