(1) PrologToPiTRSProof (SOUND transformation)

We use the technique of [TOCL09]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
minimum_in: (b,f)
Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

minimum_in_ga(tree(X, void, X1), X) → minimum_out_ga(tree(X, void, X1), X)
minimum_in_ga(tree(X2, Left, X3), X) → U1_ga(X2, Left, X3, X, minimum_in_ga(Left, X))
U1_ga(X2, Left, X3, X, minimum_out_ga(Left, X)) → minimum_out_ga(tree(X2, Left, X3), X)

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
minimum_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  minimum_in_ga(x1)
tree(x1, x2, x3)  =  tree(x1, x2, x3)
void  =  void
minimum_out_ga(x1, x2)  =  minimum_out_ga(x2)
U1_ga(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U1_ga(x5)

Infinitary Constructor Rewriting Termination of PiTRS implies Termination of Prolog
