(2) Obligation:

Triples:

lenA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) :- lenA(X2, X3).

Clauses:

lencA([], 0).
lencA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) :- lencA(X2, X3).

Afs:

lenA(x1, x2) = lenA(x1)

(3) TriplesToPiDPProof (SOUND transformation)

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

LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) → U1_GA(X1, X2, X3, lenA_in_ga(X2, X3))
LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) → LENA_IN_GA(X2, X3)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
lenA_in_ga(x1, x2) = lenA_in_ga(x1)
.(x1, x2) = .(x1, x2)
s(x1) = s(x1)
LENA_IN_GA(x1, x2) = LENA_IN_GA(x1)
U1_GA(x1, x2, x3, x4) = U1_GA(x1, x2, x4)

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

Infinitary Constructor Rewriting Termination of PiDP implies Termination of TRIPLES

(4) Obligation:

Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) → U1_GA(X1, X2, X3, lenA_in_ga(X2, X3))
LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) → LENA_IN_GA(X2, X3)

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LOPSTR] contains 1 SCC with 1 less node.

(6) Obligation:

Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2), s(X3)) → LENA_IN_GA(X2, X3)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
.(x1, x2) = .(x1, x2)
s(x1) = s(x1)
LENA_IN_GA(x1, x2) = LENA_IN_GA(x1)

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

(7) PiDPToQDPProof (SOUND transformation)

Transforming (infinitary) constructor rewriting Pi-DP problem [LOPSTR] into ordinary QDP problem [LPAR04] by application of Pi.

(8) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2)) → LENA_IN_GA(X2)

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

(9) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

LENA_IN_GA(.(X1, X2)) → LENA_IN_GA(X2)
The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1
