Problem: leq(0(),x) -> tt() leq(s(x),0()) -> ff() leq(s(x),s(y)) -> leq(x,y) split(nil()) -> app(nil(),nil()) split(cons(x,nil())) -> app(cons(x,nil()),nil()) split(cons(x,cons(y,xs))) -> split1(x,y,split(xs)) split1(x,y,app(xs,ys)) -> app(cons(x,xs),cons(y,ys)) merge([](),xs) -> xs merge(xs,[]()) -> xs merge(cons(x,xs),cons(y,ys)) -> ifmerge(leq(x,y),x,y,xs,ys) ifmerge(tt(),x,y,xs,ys) -> cons(x,merge(xs,cons(y,ys))) ifmerge(ff(),x,y,xs,ys) -> cons(y,merge(cons(x,xs),ys)) mergesort(xs) -> mergesort1(split(xs)) mergesort1(app(xs,ys)) -> merge(mergesort(xs),mergesort(ys)) Proof: Unfolding Processor: loop length: 3 terms: mergesort(nil()) mergesort1(split(nil())) mergesort1(app(nil(),nil())) context: merge(mergesort(nil()),[]) substitution: Qed
