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

first(0, X) → nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) → cons(Y, n__first(X, activate(Z)))
from(X) → cons(X, n__from(s(X)))
first(X1, X2) → n__first(X1, X2)
from(X) → n__from(X)
activate(n__first(X1, X2)) → first(X1, X2)
activate(n__from(X)) → from(X)
activate(X) → X

Q is empty.

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
[first2, activate1, from1] > nil
[first2, activate1, from1] > [s1, cons2, nfirst2]
[first2, activate1, from1] > nfrom1

Status:
first2: [2,1]
0: []
nil: []
s1: [1]
cons2: [2,1]
nfirst2: [2,1]
activate1: [1]
from1: [1]
nfrom1: [1]

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, Z)) → cons(Y, n__first(X, activate(Z)))
from(X) → cons(X, n__from(s(X)))
first(X1, X2) → n__first(X1, X2)
from(X) → n__from(X)
activate(n__first(X1, X2)) → first(X1, X2)
activate(n__from(X)) → from(X)
activate(X) → X

Q is empty.

(3) RisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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