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

Termination of R to be shown. 



   R
     ↳Overlay and local confluence Check



The TRS is overlay and locally confluent (all critical pairs are trivially joinable).Hence, we can switch to innermost. 


   R
     ↳OC
       →TRS2
         ↳Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, l1)
IFAPPEND(l1, l2, cons(x, l)) -> APPEND(l, l2)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

       →TRS2
         ↳DPs
           →DP Problem 1
             ↳Usable Rules (Innermost)


Dependency Pairs:

IFAPPEND(l1, l2, cons(x, l)) -> APPEND(l, l2)
APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, l1)


Rules:


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


Strategy:

innermost




As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 7 non-usable-rules.

Dependency Pairs:

IFAPPEND(l1, l2, cons(x, l)) -> APPEND(l, l2)
APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, l1)


Rule:

none


Strategy:

innermost




We number the DPs as follows:
  1. IFAPPEND(l1, l2, cons(x, l)) -> APPEND(l, l2)
  2. APPEND(l1, l2) -> IFAPPEND(l1, l2, l1)
and get the following Size-Change Graph(s):
{1} , {1}
2=2
3>1
{2} , {2}
1=1
1=3
2=2

which lead(s) to this/these maximal multigraph(s):
{1} , {2}
2=2
3>1
3>3
{2} , {1}
1>1
2=2

DP: empty set
Oriented Rules: none

We used the order Homeomorphic Embedding Order with Non-Strict Precedence.
trivial

with Argument Filtering System:
cons(x1, x2) -> cons(x1, x2)

We obtain no new DP problems.
