(8) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


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.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
LT(x1, x2)  =  x1
s(x1)  =  s(x1)

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
trivial
