(23) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


IF_LOW(true, n, add(m, x)) → LOW(n, x)
IF_LOW(false, n, add(m, x)) → LOW(n, x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
LOW(x1, x2)  =  x2
add(x1, x2)  =  add(x2)
IF_LOW(x1, x2, x3)  =  x3

Lexicographic path order with status [LPO].
Precedence:
trivial

Status:

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented: none
