Q is empty.
Special symbols used for the transformation (see [GM04]):
top: top, active: active, mark: mark, ok: ok, proper: proper
The replacement map contains the following entries:

app: {1, 2}
nil: empty set
cons: {1}
from: {1}
s: {1}
zWadr: {1, 2}
prefix: {1}
The QTRS contained all rules created by the complete Giesl-Middeldorp transformation. Therefore, the inverse transformation is complete (and sound).

(2) Obligation:

Context-sensitive rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(nil, YS) → YS
app(cons(X, XS), YS) → cons(X, app(XS, YS))
from(X) → cons(X, from(s(X)))
zWadr(nil, YS) → nil
zWadr(XS, nil) → nil
zWadr(cons(X, XS), cons(Y, YS)) → cons(app(Y, cons(X, nil)), zWadr(XS, YS))
prefix(L) → cons(nil, zWadr(L, prefix(L)))

The replacement map contains the following entries:

app: {1, 2}
nil: empty set
cons: {1}
from: {1}
s: {1}
zWadr: {1, 2}
prefix: {1}

(3) PoloCSRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following rules can be removed because they are oriented strictly by a µ-monotonic polynomial ordering:

app(nil, YS) → YS
app(cons(X, XS), YS) → cons(X, app(XS, YS))
from(X) → cons(X, from(s(X)))
prefix(L) → cons(nil, zWadr(L, prefix(L)))
Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(app(x1, x2)) = 1 + 2·x1 + x2   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 1 + x1   
POL(from(x1)) = 2 + 2·x1   
POL(nil) = 0   
POL(prefix(x1)) = 2 + 2·x1   
POL(s(x1)) = 2 + x1   
POL(zWadr(x1, x2)) = x1 + 2·x2   


(4) Obligation:

Context-sensitive rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

zWadr(nil, YS) → nil
zWadr(XS, nil) → nil
zWadr(cons(X, XS), cons(Y, YS)) → cons(app(Y, cons(X, nil)), zWadr(XS, YS))

The replacement map contains the following entries:

app: {1, 2}
nil: empty set
cons: {1}
zWadr: {1, 2}

(5) PoloCSRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following rules can be removed because they are oriented strictly by a µ-monotonic polynomial ordering:

zWadr(nil, YS) → nil
zWadr(XS, nil) → nil
zWadr(cons(X, XS), cons(Y, YS)) → cons(app(Y, cons(X, nil)), zWadr(XS, YS))
Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(app(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2 + x1 + x2   
POL(nil) = 1   
POL(zWadr(x1, x2)) = 2 + 2·x1 + x2   


(6) Obligation:

Context-sensitive rewrite system:
R is empty.

(7) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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