Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

concat(leaf, Y) → Y
concat(cons(U, V), Y) → cons(U, concat(V, Y))
lessleaves(X, leaf) → false
lessleaves(leaf, cons(W, Z)) → true
lessleaves(cons(U, V), cons(W, Z)) → lessleaves(concat(U, V), concat(W, Z))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
[concat2, cons2] > lessleaves2 > [leaf, false] > true

Status:
cons2: [1,2]
lessleaves2: [1,2]
true: multiset
concat2: [1,2]
leaf: multiset
false: multiset

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

concat(leaf, Y) → Y
concat(cons(U, V), Y) → cons(U, concat(V, Y))
lessleaves(X, leaf) → false
lessleaves(leaf, cons(W, Z)) → true


(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

lessleaves(cons(U, V), cons(W, Z)) → lessleaves(concat(U, V), concat(W, Z))

Q is empty.

(3) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
cons2 > [lessleaves2, concat2]

Status:
lessleaves2: multiset
cons2: multiset
concat2: multiset

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

lessleaves(cons(U, V), cons(W, Z)) → lessleaves(concat(U, V), concat(W, Z))


(4) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
R is empty.
Q is empty.

(5) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS R is empty. Hence, termination is trivially proven.
