     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

-'(s(x), s(y)) -> -'(x, y)
F(s(x), y) -> F(p(-(s(x), y)), p(-(y, s(x))))
F(s(x), y) -> P(-(s(x), y))
F(s(x), y) -> -'(s(x), y)
F(s(x), y) -> P(-(y, s(x)))
F(s(x), y) -> -'(y, s(x))
F(x, s(y)) -> F(p(-(x, s(y))), p(-(s(y), x)))
F(x, s(y)) -> P(-(x, s(y)))
F(x, s(y)) -> -'(x, s(y))
F(x, s(y)) -> P(-(s(y), x))
F(x, s(y)) -> -'(s(y), x)

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.
