Term Rewriting System R:
[X, Y, Z]
first(0, X) -> nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> cons(Y, first(X, Z))
from(X) -> cons(X, from(s(X)))

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:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)
FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))

Furthermore, R contains two SCCs.

             ↳Usable Rules (Innermost)
           →DP Problem 2
             ↳UsableRules


Dependency Pair:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)


Rules:


first(0, X) -> nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> cons(Y, first(X, Z))
from(X) -> cons(X, from(s(X)))


Strategy:

innermost




As we are in the innermost case, we can delete all 3 non-usable-rules.

             ↳UsableRules


Dependency Pair:

FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)


Rule:

none


Strategy:

innermost




We number the DPs as follows:
  1. FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) -> FIRST(X, Z)
and get the following Size-Change Graph(s):
{1} , {1}
1>1
2>2

which lead(s) to this/these maximal multigraph(s):
{1} , {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)
s(x1) -> s(x1)

We obtain no new DP problems.

                 ↳Non Termination


Dependency Pair:

FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))


Rule:

none


Strategy:

innermost




Found an infinite P-chain over R:
P =

FROM(X) -> FROM(s(X))

R = none

s = FROM(X)
evaluates to t =FROM(s(X))

Thus, s starts an infinite chain as s matches t.

Non-Termination of R could be shown.
