     ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

BSORT(.(x, y)) -> LAST(.(bubble(.(x, y)), bsort(butlast(bubble(.(x, y))))))
BSORT(.(x, y)) -> BUBBLE(.(x, y))
BSORT(.(x, y)) -> BSORT(butlast(bubble(.(x, y))))
BSORT(.(x, y)) -> BUTLAST(bubble(.(x, y)))
BUBBLE(.(x, .(y, z))) -> BUBBLE(.(x, z))
BUBBLE(.(x, .(y, z))) -> BUBBLE(.(y, z))
LAST(.(x, .(y, z))) -> LAST(.(y, z))
BUTLAST(.(x, .(y, z))) -> BUTLAST(.(y, z))

Furthermore, R contains four SCCs.

Dependency Pair:

LAST(.(x, .(y, z))) -> LAST(.(y, z))

Rules:

bsort(nil) -> nil
bsort(.(x, y)) -> last(.(bubble(.(x, y)), bsort(butlast(bubble(.(x, y))))))
bubble(nil) -> nil
bubble(.(x, nil)) -> .(x, nil)
bubble(.(x, .(y, z))) -> if(<=(x, y), .(y, bubble(.(x, z))), .(x, bubble(.(y, z))))
last(nil) -> 0
last(.(x, nil)) -> x
last(.(x, .(y, z))) -> last(.(y, z))
butlast(nil) -> nil
butlast(.(x, nil)) -> nil
butlast(.(x, .(y, z))) -> .(x, butlast(.(y, z)))

The following dependency pair can be strictly oriented:

LAST(.(x, .(y, z))) -> LAST(.(y, z))

There are no usable rules using the Ce-refinement that need to be oriented.
Used ordering: Polynomial ordering with Polynomial interpretation:

POL(LAST(x₁)) = 1 + x₁

POL(.(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂

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

LAST(x₁) -> LAST(x₁)
.(x₁, x₂) -> .(x₁, x₂)
