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)

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

four new Dependency Pairs are created:

LESS_LEAVES(cons(cons(u'', v''), v0), cons(w, z)) -> LESS_LEAVES(cons(u'', concat(v'', v0)), concat(w, z))

LESS_LEAVES(cons(u, v), cons(cons(u'', v''), z')) -> LESS_LEAVES(concat(u, v), cons(u'', concat(v'', z')))

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

SHUFFLE(add(n, x)) -> SHUFFLE(reverse(x))

two new Dependency Pairs are created:

SHUFFLE(add(n, nil)) -> SHUFFLE(nil)
SHUFFLE(add(n, add(n'', x''))) -> SHUFFLE(app(reverse(x''), add(n'', nil)))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:
