(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:
reverse_in: (b,f)
app_in: (b,b,f)
Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

reverse_in_ga(.(X, Xs), Ys) → U2_ga(X, Xs, Ys, reverse_in_ga(Xs, Zs))
reverse_in_ga([], []) → reverse_out_ga([], [])
U2_ga(X, Xs, Ys, reverse_out_ga(Xs, Zs)) → U3_ga(X, Xs, Ys, app_in_gga(Zs, .(X, []), Ys))

U1_gga(X, Xs, Ys, Zs, app_out_gga(Xs, Ys, Zs)) → app_out_gga(.(X, Xs), Ys, .(X, Zs))
U3_ga(X, Xs, Ys, app_out_gga(Zs, .(X, []), Ys)) → reverse_out_ga(.(X, Xs), Ys)
