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

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

F(s(x), s(y), z, u) → F(x, u, z, u)
F(s(x), 0, z, u) → F(x, u, minus(z, s(x)), u)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
F(x1, x2, x3, x4)  =  F(x1, x3, x4)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
0  =  0
minus(x1, x2)  =  minus

Lexicographic Path Order [LPO].

F₃ > minus > s₁
0 > s₁
