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:

__(__(X, Y), Z) → __(X, __(Y, Z))
__(X, nil) → X
__(nil, X) → X
U11(tt) → U12(tt)
U12(tt) → tt
isNePal(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11(tt)

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:

__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(X, __(Y, Z))
__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(Y, Z)
U11¹(tt) → U12¹(tt)
ISNEPAL(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11¹(tt)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

__(__(X, Y), Z) → __(X, __(Y, Z))
__(X, nil) → X
__(nil, X) → X
U11(tt) → U12(tt)
U12(tt) → tt
isNePal(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11(tt)

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 2 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(Y, Z)
__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(X, __(Y, Z))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

__(__(X, Y), Z) → __(X, __(Y, Z))
__(X, nil) → X
__(nil, X) → X
U11(tt) → U12(tt)
U12(tt) → tt
isNePal(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11(tt)

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.

__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(Y, Z)
__¹(__(X, Y), Z) → __¹(X, __(Y, Z))

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
__¹(x1, x2)  =  __¹(x1, x2)
__(x1, x2)  =  __(x1, x2)
nil  =  nil
U11(x1)  =  x1
tt  =  tt
U12(x1)  =  x1
isNePal(x1)  =  isNePal(x1)

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Precedence:

__^12 > _₂
isNePal₁ > tt

Status:

_₂: [1,2]
tt: []
__^12: [1,2]
isNePal₁: [1]
nil: []

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

__(__(X, Y), Z) → __(X, __(Y, Z))
__(X, nil) → X
__(nil, X) → X
U11(tt) → U12(tt)
U12(tt) → tt
isNePal(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11(tt)

(6) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

__(__(X, Y), Z) → __(X, __(Y, Z))
__(X, nil) → X
__(nil, X) → X
U11(tt) → U12(tt)
U12(tt) → tt
isNePal(__(I, __(P, I))) → U11(tt)

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.

(8) TRUE
