We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

PLUS(N, s(M)) → U11¹(tt, M, N)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
U12¹(x1, x2, x3)  =  x2
tt  =  tt
PLUS(x1, x2)  =  x2
activate(x1)  =  x1
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
U11¹(x1, x2, x3)  =  x2

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Precedence:

trivial

Status:

tt: []
s₁: [1]

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

activate(X) → X
