The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

f_1(pair(X, Z), N, M, Y) → f_2(lt(N, M), N, M, Y, X, Z)
split(N, nil) → pair(nil, nil)
split(N, add(M, Y)) → f_1(split(N, Y), N, M, Y)
f_2(true, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(X, add(M, Z))
f_2(false, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(add(M, X), Z)

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Y)
F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Z)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

split(N, nil) → pair(nil, nil)
split(N, add(M, Y)) → f_1(split(N, Y), N, M, Y)
f_1(pair(X, Z), N, M, Y) → f_2(lt(N, M), N, M, Y, X, Z)
lt(0, s(X)) → true
lt(s(X), 0) → false
lt(s(X), s(Y)) → lt(X, Y)
f_2(true, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(X, add(M, Z))
f_2(false, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(add(M, X), Z)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

lt(0, s(x0))
lt(s(x0), 0)
lt(s(x0), s(x1))
split(x0, nil)
split(x0, add(x1, x2))
f_1(pair(x0, x1), x2, x3, x4)
f_2(true, x0, x1, x2, x3, x4)
f_2(false, x0, x1, x2, x3, x4)

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
