Termination Proof using AProVE

Term Rewriting System R:
[x, l, l1, l2]
is_empty(nil) -> true
is_empty(cons(x, l)) -> false
hd(cons(x, l)) -> x
tl(cons(x, l)) -> l
append(l1, l2) -> ifappend(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))
ifappend(l1, l2, true) -> l2
ifappend(l1, l2, false) -> cons(hd(l1), append(tl(l1), l2))

Termination of R to be shown.

     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))
APPEND(l1, l2) -> IS_EMPTY(l1)
IFAPPEND(l1, l2, false) -> HD(l1)
IFAPPEND(l1, l2, false) -> APPEND(tl(l1), l2)
IFAPPEND(l1, l2, false) -> TL(l1)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

         ↳Remaining Obligation(s)

The following remains to be proven:
Dependency Pairs:

IFAPPEND(l1, l2, false) -> APPEND(tl(l1), l2)
APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))

Rules:

is_empty(nil) -> true
is_empty(cons(x, l)) -> false
hd(cons(x, l)) -> x
tl(cons(x, l)) -> l
append(l1, l2) -> ifappend(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))
ifappend(l1, l2, true) -> l2
ifappend(l1, l2, false) -> cons(hd(l1), append(tl(l1), l2))

Termination of R could not be shown.
