     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)
FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

     ↳DPs

       →DP Problem 1

         ↳Forward Instantiation Transformation

       →DP Problem 2

         ↳Inst

Dependency Pair:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)

Rules:

first(0, X) -> nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> cons(Y, first(X, Z))
from(X) -> cons(X, from(s(X)))

Strategy:

innermost

On this DP problem, a Forward Instantiation SCC transformation can be performed.
As a result of transforming the rule

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)

one new Dependency Pair is created:

FIRST(s(s(X'')), cons(Y, cons(Y'', Z''))) -> FIRST(s(X''), cons(Y'', Z''))

The transformation is resulting in one new DP problem:

As a result of transforming the rule

       →DP Problem 2

         ↳Inst

Dependency Pair:

FIRST(s(s(s(X''''))), cons(Y, cons(Y''0, cons(Y'''', Z'''')))) -> FIRST(s(s(X'''')), cons(Y''0, cons(Y'''', Z'''')))

Rules:

first(0, X) -> nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> cons(Y, first(X, Z))
from(X) -> cons(X, from(s(X)))

Strategy:

innermost

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

FIRST(s(s(s(X''''))), cons(Y, cons(Y''0, cons(Y'''', Z'''')))) -> FIRST(s(s(X'''')), cons(Y''0, cons(Y'''', Z'''')))

There are no usable rules for innermost w.r.t. to the AFS that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(cons(x₁, x₂)) = x₁ + x₂

POL(FIRST(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂

POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

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

FIRST(x₁, x₂) -> FIRST(x₁, x₂)
s(x₁) -> s(x₁)
cons(x₁, x₂) -> cons(x₁, x₂)
