Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

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

first(0, X) → nil
first(s(X), cons(Y)) → cons(Y)
from(X) → cons(X)

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(0) = 1   
POL(cons(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(first(x₁, x₂)) = x₁ + x₂   
POL(from(x₁)) = 1 + x₁   
POL(nil) = 0   
POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁   

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

first(0, X) → nil
first(s(X), cons(Y)) → cons(Y)
from(X) → cons(X)

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
R is empty.
Q is empty.

(3) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(4) TRUE

(5) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(6) TRUE

(7) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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

(8) TRUE
