     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

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

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

On this DP problem, a Narrowing SCC transformation can be performed.
As a result of transforming the rule

QUOT(s(x), s(y)) -> QUOT(minus(x, y), s(y))

three new Dependency Pairs are created:

QUOT(s(x''), s(0)) -> QUOT(x'', s(0))
QUOT(s(s(x'')), s(s(y''))) -> QUOT(minus(x'', y''), s(s(y'')))
QUOT(s(minus(x'', y'')), s(y0)) -> QUOT(minus(x'', plus(y'', y0)), s(y0))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
