     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

APP(cons(x, l), k) -> APP(l, k)
SUM(cons(x, cons(y, l))) -> SUM(cons(plus(x, y), l))
SUM(cons(x, cons(y, l))) -> PLUS(x, y)
SUM(app(l, cons(x, cons(y, k)))) -> SUM(app(l, sum(cons(x, cons(y, k)))))
SUM(app(l, cons(x, cons(y, k)))) -> APP(l, sum(cons(x, cons(y, k))))
SUM(app(l, cons(x, cons(y, k)))) -> SUM(cons(x, cons(y, k)))
PLUS(s(x), y) -> PLUS(x, y)

Furthermore, R contains four SCCs.
