     ↳Overlay and local confluence Check

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

         ↳Dependency Pair Analysis

R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

MINUS(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)
LE(s(x), s(y)) -> LE(x, y)
QUOT(x, s(y)) -> IF_QUOT(le(s(y), x), x, s(y))
QUOT(x, s(y)) -> LE(s(y), x)
IF_QUOT(true, x, y) -> QUOT(minus(x, y), y)
IF_QUOT(true, x, y) -> MINUS(x, y)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.

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

QUOT(x, s(y)) -> IF_QUOT(le(s(y), x), x, s(y))

two new Dependency Pairs are created:

QUOT(s(y''), s(y0)) -> IF_QUOT(le(y0, y''), s(y''), s(y0))
QUOT(0, s(y')) -> IF_QUOT(false, 0, s(y'))

Strategy:

The following Dependency Pair can be strictly oriented using the given order.

IF_QUOT(true, s(x''), s(y'')) -> QUOT(minus(x'', y''), s(y''))

Moreover, the following usable rules (regarding the implicit AFS) are oriented.

minus(s(x), s(y)) -> minus(x, y)
minus(x, 0) -> x
le(s(x), s(y)) -> le(x, y)
le(0, y) -> true
le(s(x), 0) -> false

Used ordering:
Polynomial Order with Interpretation:

POL( IF_QUOT(x₁, ..., x₃) ) = x₂

POL( s(x₁) ) = x₁ + 1

POL( QUOT(x₁, x₂) ) = x₁

POL( minus(x₁, x₂) ) = x₁

POL( le(x₁, x₂) ) = 0

POL( true ) = 0

POL( false ) = 0

This results in one new DP problem.
