f(0, y, 0, u) → true
f(0, y, s(z), u) → false
f(s(x), 0, z, u) → f(x, u, minus(z, s(x)), u)
f(s(x), s(y), z, u) → if(le(x, y), f(s(x), minus(y, x), z, u), f(x, u, z, u))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

minus(0, x0)
minus(s(x0), 0)
minus(s(x0), s(x1))
le(0, x0)
le(s(x0), 0)
le(s(x0), s(x1))
if(true, x0, x1)
if(false, x0, x1)
perfectp(0)
perfectp(s(x0))
f(0, x0, 0, x1)
f(0, x0, s(x1), x2)
f(s(x0), 0, x1, x2)
f(s(x0), s(x1), x2, x3)

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

(22) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.

(23) TRUE
