We use the technique of [DT09]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
countstackA_in: (b,f)
Transforming TRIPLES into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(nil, X1), X2) → U1_GA(X1, X2, countstackA_in_ga(X1, X2))
COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(nil, X1), X2) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(X1, X2)
COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(cons(X1, X2), X3), s(X4)) → U2_GA(X1, X2, X3, X4, countstackA_in_ga(push(X1, push(X2, X3)), X4))
COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(cons(X1, X2), X3), s(X4)) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(X1, push(X2, X3)), X4)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
countstackA_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  countstackA_in_ga(x1)
push(x1, x2)  =  push(x1, x2)
nil  =  nil

COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(x1, x2)  =  COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(x1)
U1_GA(x1, x2, x3)  =  U1_GA(x1, x3)
U2_GA(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U2_GA(x1, x2, x3, x5)

We have to consider all (P,R,Pi)-chains

COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(nil, X1), X2) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(X1, X2)

COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(cons(X1, X2), X3)) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(X1, push(X2, X3)))
COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(nil, X1)) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(X1)

R is empty.
Q is empty.
We have to consider all (P,Q,R)-chains.

(9) UsableRulesReductionPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the usable rules with reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with a polynomial ordering [POLO], all dependency pairs and the corresponding usable rules [FROCOS05] can be oriented non-strictly. All non-usable rules are removed, and those dependency pairs and usable rules that have been oriented strictly or contain non-usable symbols in their left-hand side are removed as well.

The following dependency pairs can be deleted:

COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(cons(X1, X2), X3)) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(X1, push(X2, X3)))
COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(push(nil, X1)) → COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(X1)
No rules are removed from R.

Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(COUNTSTACKA_IN_GA(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2 + 2·x1 + 2·x2   
POL(nil) = 0   
POL(push(x1, x2)) = 1 + 2·x1 + x2
