     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

PERFECTP(s(x)) -> F(x, s(0), s(x), s(x))
F(s(x), 0, z, u) -> F(x, u, minus(z, s(x)), u)
F(s(x), s(y), z, u) -> F(s(x), minus(y, x), z, u)
F(s(x), s(y), z, u) -> F(x, u, z, u)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

two new Dependency Pairs are created:
