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

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

SORT(cons(x, xs)) → SORT(del(max(cons(x, xs)), cons(x, xs)))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

max(nil) → 0
max(cons(x, nil)) → x
max(cons(x, cons(y, xs))) → if1(ge(x, y), x, y, xs)
if1(true, x, y, xs) → max(cons(x, xs))
if1(false, x, y, xs) → max(cons(y, xs))
del(x, nil) → nil
del(x, cons(y, xs)) → if2(eq(x, y), x, y, xs)
if2(true, x, y, xs) → xs
if2(false, x, y, xs) → cons(y, del(x, xs))
eq(0, 0) → true
eq(0, s(y)) → false
eq(s(x), 0) → false
eq(s(x), s(y)) → eq(x, y)
sort(nil) → nil
sort(cons(x, xs)) → cons(max(cons(x, xs)), sort(del(max(cons(x, xs)), cons(x, xs))))
ge(0, 0) → true
ge(s(x), 0) → true
ge(0, s(x)) → false
ge(s(x), s(y)) → ge(x, y)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

max(nil)
max(cons(x0, nil))
max(cons(x0, cons(x1, x2)))
if1(true, x0, x1, x2)
if1(false, x0, x1, x2)
del(x0, nil)
del(x0, cons(x1, x2))
if2(true, x0, x1, x2)
if2(false, x0, x1, x2)
eq(0, 0)
eq(0, s(x0))
eq(s(x0), 0)
eq(s(x0), s(x1))
sort(nil)
sort(cons(x0, x1))
ge(0, 0)
ge(s(x0), 0)
ge(0, s(x0))
ge(s(x0), s(x1))

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