     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

SORT(cons(x, y)) -> INSERT(x, sort(y))
SORT(cons(x, y)) -> SORT(y)
INSERT(x, cons(v, w)) -> CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), x, v)
CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), 0, s(z)) -> INSERT(x, w)
CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), s(y), s(z)) -> CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), y, z)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

       →DP Problem 2

         ↳AFS

Dependency Pairs:

CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), s(y), s(z)) -> CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), y, z)
CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), 0, s(z)) -> INSERT(x, w)
INSERT(x, cons(v, w)) -> CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), x, v)

Rules:

sort(nil) -> nil
sort(cons(x, y)) -> insert(x, sort(y))
insert(x, nil) -> cons(x, nil)
insert(x, cons(v, w)) -> choose(x, cons(v, w), x, v)
choose(x, cons(v, w), y, 0) -> cons(x, cons(v, w))
choose(x, cons(v, w), 0, s(z)) -> cons(v, insert(x, w))
choose(x, cons(v, w), s(y), s(z)) -> choose(x, cons(v, w), y, z)

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), 0, s(z)) -> INSERT(x, w)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Homeomorphic Embedding Order with EMB
resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:

CHOOSE(x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄) -> x₂
cons(x₁, x₂) -> cons(x₁, x₂)
INSERT(x₁, x₂) -> x₂
