Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pairs can be strictly oriented:

IF_HIGH(false, n, add(m, x)) -> HIGH(n, x)
IF_HIGH(true, n, add(m, x)) -> HIGH(n, x)

The following usable rules for innermost can be oriented:

le(0, y) -> true
le(s(x), 0) -> false
le(s(x), s(y)) -> le(x, y)

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(IF_HIGH(x₁, x₂, x₃)) = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

POL(false) = 0

POL(HIGH(x₁, x₂)) = x₁ + x₂

POL(true) = 0

POL(le) = 0

POL(add(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂

resulting in one new DP problem.
