We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


LT(s(x), s(y)) → LT(x, y)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25,35]:

POL(s(x1)) = 1 + (4)x_1   
POL(LT(x1, x2)) = (3)x_2   
The value of delta used in the strict ordering is 3.
The following usable rules [17] were oriented: none
