Termination Proof using AProVE

Term Rewriting System R:
[x, y, z]
f(x, nil) -> g(nil, x)
f(x, g(y, z)) -> g(f(x, y), z)
++(x, nil) -> x
++(x, g(y, z)) -> g(++(x, y), z)
null(nil) -> true
null(g(x, y)) -> false
mem(nil, y) -> false
mem(g(x, y), z) -> or(=(y, z), mem(x, z))
mem(x, max(x)) -> not(null(x))
max(g(g(nil, x), y)) -> max'(x, y)
max(g(g(g(x, y), z), u)) -> max'(max(g(g(x, y), z)), u)

Innermost Termination of R to be shown.

     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

F(x, g(y, z)) -> F(x, y)
++'(x, g(y, z)) -> ++'(x, y)
MEM(g(x, y), z) -> MEM(x, z)
MEM(x, max(x)) -> NULL(x)
MAX(g(g(g(x, y), z), u)) -> MAX(g(g(x, y), z))

Furthermore, R contains four SCCs.

Dependency Pair:

F(x, g(y, z)) -> F(x, y)

Rules:

f(x, nil) -> g(nil, x)
f(x, g(y, z)) -> g(f(x, y), z)

++(x, g(y, z)) -> g(++(x, y), z)

mem(x, max(x)) -> not(null(x))
max(g(g(nil, x), y)) -> max'(x, y)
max(g(g(g(x, y), z), u)) -> max'(max(g(g(x, y), z)), u)

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

F(x, g(y, z)) -> F(x, y)

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

F(x₁, x₂) -> F(x₁, x₂)
g(x₁, x₂) -> g(x₁, x₂)
