     ↳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:

GE(s(x), s(y)) -> GE(x, y)
MINUS(s(x), s(y)) -> MINUS(x, y)
DIV(x, y) -> IFY(ge(y, s(0)), x, y)
DIV(x, y) -> GE(y, s(0))
IFY(true, x, y) -> IF(ge(x, y), x, y)
IFY(true, x, y) -> GE(x, y)
IF(true, x, y) -> DIV(minus(x, y), y)
IF(true, x, y) -> MINUS(x, y)

Furthermore, R contains three SCCs.
