(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_concatenate_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_concatenate_in_gga([], L, L) → reverse_concatenate_out_gga([], L, L)
reverse_concatenate_in_gga(.(X, L1), L2, L3) → U4_gga(X, L1, L2, L3, reverse_concatenate_in_gga(L1, .(X, L2), L3))
U4_gga(X, L1, L2, L3, reverse_concatenate_out_gga(L1, .(X, L2), L3)) → reverse_concatenate_out_gga(.(X, L1), L2, L3)

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
reverse_concatenate_in_gga(x1, x2, x3)  =  reverse_concatenate_in_gga(x1, x2)
[]  =  []
reverse_concatenate_out_gga(x1, x2, x3)  =  reverse_concatenate_out_gga(x3)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
