     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

MSORT(.(x, y)) -> MIN(x, y)
MSORT(.(x, y)) -> MSORT(del(min(x, y), .(x, y)))
MSORT(.(x, y)) -> DEL(min(x, y), .(x, y))
MIN(x, .(y, z)) -> MIN(x, z)
MIN(x, .(y, z)) -> MIN(y, z)
DEL(x, .(y, z)) -> DEL(x, z)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.
