Termination Proof using AProVE

Term Rewriting System R:
[x, y, z]
rev(nil) -> nil
rev(.(x, y)) -> ++(rev(y), .(x, nil))
car(.(x, y)) -> x
cdr(.(x, y)) -> y
null(nil) -> true
null(.(x, y)) -> false
++(nil, y) -> y
++(.(x, y), z) -> .(x, ++(y, z))

Innermost Termination of R to be shown.

     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

REV(.(x, y)) -> ++'(rev(y), .(x, nil))
REV(.(x, y)) -> REV(y)
++'(.(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

Dependency Pair:

++'(.(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

Rules:

rev(nil) -> nil
rev(.(x, y)) -> ++(rev(y), .(x, nil))
car(.(x, y)) -> x

Strategy:

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

++'(.(x, y), z) -> ++'(y, z)

one new Dependency Pair is created:

++'(.(x, .(x'', y'')), z'') -> ++'(.(x'', y''), z'')

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

There are no usable rules for innermost w.r.t. to the AFS that need to be oriented.
