     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

MINUS(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)
QUOT(s(x), s(y)) -> QUOT(minus(x, y), s(y))
QUOT(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)
PLUS(s(x), y) -> PLUS(x, y)
PLUS(minus(x, s(0)), minus(y, s(s(z)))) -> PLUS(minus(y, s(s(z))), minus(x, s(0)))

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.
