     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> ACTIVATE(Z)
SEL(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> SEL(X, activate(Z))
SEL(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> ACTIVATE(Z)
ACTIVATE(n_{_from}(X)) -> FROM(X)
ACTIVATE(n_{_first}(X1, X2)) -> FIRST(X1, X2)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.
