Termination Proof using AProVE

Term Rewriting System R:
[x, y, z]
qsort(nil) -> nil
qsort(.(x, y)) -> ++(qsort(lowers(x, y)), .(x, qsort(greaters(x, y))))
lowers(x, nil) -> nil
lowers(x, .(y, z)) -> if(<=(y, x), .(y, lowers(x, z)), lowers(x, z))
greaters(x, nil) -> nil
greaters(x, .(y, z)) -> if(<=(y, x), greaters(x, z), .(y, greaters(x, z)))

Innermost Termination of R to be shown.

     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

QSORT(.(x, y)) -> QSORT(lowers(x, y))
QSORT(.(x, y)) -> LOWERS(x, y)
QSORT(.(x, y)) -> QSORT(greaters(x, y))
QSORT(.(x, y)) -> GREATERS(x, y)
LOWERS(x, .(y, z)) -> LOWERS(x, z)
GREATERS(x, .(y, z)) -> GREATERS(x, z)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

Dependency Pair:

LOWERS(x, .(y, z)) -> LOWERS(x, z)

Rules:

qsort(nil) -> nil
qsort(.(x, y)) -> ++(qsort(lowers(x, y)), .(x, qsort(greaters(x, y))))
lowers(x, nil) -> nil
lowers(x, .(y, z)) -> if(<=(y, x), .(y, lowers(x, z)), lowers(x, z))
greaters(x, nil) -> nil
greaters(x, .(y, z)) -> if(<=(y, x), greaters(x, z), .(y, greaters(x, z)))

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

LOWERS(x, .(y, z)) -> LOWERS(x, z)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Lexicographic Path Order with Non-Strict Precedence with Quasi Precedence:

trivial

resulting in one new DP problem.
Used Argument Filtering System:

LOWERS(x₁, x₂) -> LOWERS(x₁, x₂)
.(x₁, x₂) -> .(x₁, x₂)
