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:
Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:
[first2, activate1] > nfirst2 > [0, nil, s1, cons2, nfrom1]
[first2, activate1] > from1 > [0, nil, s1, cons2, nfrom1]

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

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.
