     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

MINUS(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)
DOUBLE(s(x)) -> DOUBLE(x)
PLUS(s(x), y) -> PLUS(x, y)
PLUS(s(x), y) -> PLUS(x, s(y))
PLUS(s(x), y) -> PLUS(minus(x, y), double(y))
PLUS(s(x), y) -> MINUS(x, y)
PLUS(s(x), y) -> DOUBLE(y)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

MINUS(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(MINUS(x₁, x₂)) = x₁ + x₂

POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

resulting in one new DP problem.

PLUS(s(s(s(s(s(x''''''''))))), 0) -> PLUS(s(s(s(s(x'''''''')))), 0)

Rules:

minus(x, 0) -> x
minus(s(x), s(y)) -> minus(x, y)
double(0) -> 0
double(s(x)) -> s(s(double(x)))
plus(0, y) -> y
plus(s(x), y) -> s(plus(x, y))
plus(s(x), y) -> plus(x, s(y))
plus(s(x), y) -> s(plus(minus(x, y), double(y)))
