Q DP problem:

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

le(0, Y) → true

le(s(X), s(Y)) → le(X, Y)
app(nil, Y) → Y
app(cons(N, L), Y) → cons(N, app(L, Y))

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
We use the reduction pair processor [15].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

QUICKSORT(cons(N, L)) → QUICKSORT(high(N, L))

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(cons(x₁, x₂)) = 4 + (4)x_2
POL(high(x₁, x₂)) = 3 + (4)x_2
POL(ifhigh(x₁, x₂, x₃)) = (4)x_3
POL(le(x₁, x₂)) = 0
POL(true) = 3
POL(false) = 0
POL(s(x₁)) = 2 + (4)x_1
POL(QUICKSORT(x₁)) = (2)x_1
POL(0) = 1
POL(nil) = 0

The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 2.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

high(N, nil) → nil
ifhigh(true, N, cons(M, L)) → high(N, L)
high(N, cons(M, L)) → ifhigh(le(M, N), N, cons(M, L))
ifhigh(false, N, cons(M, L)) → cons(M, high(N, L))
