     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

LE(s(x), s(y)) -> LE(x, y)
MINUS(x, y) -> IF(le(x, y), x, y)
MINUS(x, y) -> LE(x, y)
IF(false, x, y) -> MINUS(p(x), y)
IF(false, x, y) -> P(x)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

LE(s(x), s(y)) -> LE(x, y)

There are no usable rules for innermost that need to be oriented.

Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:
