     ↳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.

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

INSERT(x, cons(v, w)) -> CHOOSE(x, cons(v, w), x, v)

two new Dependency Pairs are created:

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