Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__zeros → cons(0, zeros)
a__tail(cons(X, XS)) → mark(XS)
mark(zeros) → a__zeros
mark(tail(X)) → a__tail(mark(X))
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)
mark(0) → 0
a__zeros → zeros
a__tail(X) → tail(X)

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

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

A__TAIL(cons(X, XS)) → MARK(XS)
MARK(zeros) → A__ZEROS
MARK(tail(X)) → A__TAIL(mark(X))
MARK(tail(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(cons(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__zeros → cons(0, zeros)
a__tail(cons(X, XS)) → mark(XS)
mark(zeros) → a__zeros
mark(tail(X)) → a__tail(mark(X))
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)
mark(0) → 0
a__zeros → zeros
a__tail(X) → tail(X)

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

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 1 less node.

(4) Obligation:

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

MARK(tail(X)) → A__TAIL(mark(X))
A__TAIL(cons(X, XS)) → MARK(XS)
MARK(tail(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(cons(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__zeros → cons(0, zeros)
a__tail(cons(X, XS)) → mark(XS)
mark(zeros) → a__zeros
mark(tail(X)) → a__tail(mark(X))
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)
mark(0) → 0
a__zeros → zeros
a__tail(X) → tail(X)

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

(5) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


MARK(tail(X)) → A__TAIL(mark(X))
A__TAIL(cons(X, XS)) → MARK(XS)
MARK(tail(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(cons(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
MARK(x1)  =  MARK(x1)
tail(x1)  =  tail(x1)
A__TAIL(x1)  =  x1
mark(x1)  =  mark(x1)
cons(x1, x2)  =  cons(x1, x2)
zeros  =  zeros
a__zeros  =  a__zeros
a__tail(x1)  =  a__tail(x1)
0  =  0

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
[tail1, mark1, azeros, atail1] > zeros > [MARK1, cons2]
[tail1, mark1, azeros, atail1] > 0 > [MARK1, cons2]

Status:
MARK1: [1]
tail1: [1]
mark1: [1]
cons2: [2,1]
zeros: []
azeros: []
atail1: [1]
0: []


The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

mark(zeros) → a__zeros
mark(tail(X)) → a__tail(mark(X))
a__tail(cons(X, XS)) → mark(XS)
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)
mark(0) → 0
a__tail(X) → tail(X)
a__zeros → cons(0, zeros)
a__zeros → zeros

Q DP problem:

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__zeros → cons(0, zeros)
a__tail(cons(X, XS)) → mark(XS)
mark(zeros) → a__zeros
mark(tail(X)) → a__tail(mark(X))
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)

a__tail(X) → tail(X)

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

(7) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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