We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


F(false, x, y, z) → DEL(.(y, z))
F(true, x, y, z) → DEL(.(y, z))
DEL(.(x, .(y, z))) → F(=(x, y), x, y, z)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(F(x1, x2, x3, x4)) = 4 + (1/4)x_1 + (4)x_3 + (4)x_4   
POL(v) = 0   
POL(=(x1, x2)) = (1/4)x_2   
POL(u) = 0   
POL(DEL(x1)) = 1 + x_1   
POL(true) = 1/4   
POL(false) = 1/4   
POL(and(x1, x2)) = 0   
POL(.(x1, x2)) = 2 + (4)x_1 + (4)x_2   
POL(nil) = 1   
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 17/16.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

=(nil, nil) → true
=(.(x, y), nil) → false
=(nil, .(y, z)) → false
