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

SUM(app(l, cons(x, cons(y, k)))) -> SUM(app(l, sum(cons(x, cons(y, k)))))

one new Dependency Pair is created:

SUM(app(l, cons(x'', cons(y'', k')))) -> SUM(app(l, sum(cons(plus(x'', y''), k'))))
