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)

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

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))
