(3) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

A__FILTER(cons(X, Y), s(N), M) → MARK(X)
A__SIEVE(cons(s(N), Y)) → MARK(N)
A__NATS(N) → MARK(N)
A__ZPRIMES → A__SIEVE(a__nats(s(s(0))))
A__ZPRIMES → A__NATS(s(s(0)))
MARK(filter(X1, X2, X3)) → A__FILTER(mark(X1), mark(X2), mark(X3))
MARK(filter(X1, X2, X3)) → MARK(X1)
MARK(filter(X1, X2, X3)) → MARK(X2)
MARK(filter(X1, X2, X3)) → MARK(X3)
MARK(sieve(X)) → A__SIEVE(mark(X))
MARK(sieve(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(nats(X)) → A__NATS(mark(X))
MARK(nats(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(zprimes) → A__ZPRIMES
MARK(cons(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)
MARK(s(X)) → MARK(X)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
A__FILTER(x1, x2, x3)  =  A__FILTER(x1, x2, x3)
cons(x1, x2)  =  cons(x1)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
MARK(x1)  =  MARK(x1)
A__SIEVE(x1)  =  A__SIEVE(x1)
A__NATS(x1)  =  A__NATS(x1)
A__ZPRIMES  =  A__ZPRIMES
a__nats(x1)  =  a__nats(x1)
0  =  0
filter(x1, x2, x3)  =  filter(x1, x2, x3)
mark(x1)  =  x1
sieve(x1)  =  sieve(x1)
nats(x1)  =  nats(x1)
zprimes  =  zprimes
a__filter(x1, x2, x3)  =  a__filter(x1, x2, x3)
a__sieve(x1)  =  a__sieve(x1)
a__zprimes  =  a__zprimes

Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

[A_ZPRIMES, zprimes, a_zprimes] > s₁ > [A_FILTER3, filter₃, a_filter3] > [cons₁, a_nats1, 0, sieve₁, nats₁, a_sieve1] > A_NATS1 > MARK₁

Status:
