Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(app(filter, f), nil) → nil
app(app(filter, f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(app(filtersub, app(f, y)), f), app(app(cons, y), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, true), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(cons, y), app(app(filter, f), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, false), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(filter, f), ys)

Q is empty.

(1) Overlay + Local Confluence (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [NOC] we can switch to innermost.

(2) Obligation:

app(app(filter, x0), app(app(cons, x1), x2))
app(app(app(filtersub, true), x0), app(app(cons, x1), x2))
app(app(app(filtersub, false), x0), app(app(cons, x1), x2))

APP(app(app(filtersub, false), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → APP(filter, f)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(app(filter, f), nil) → nil
app(app(filter, f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(app(filtersub, app(f, y)), f), app(app(cons, y), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, true), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(cons, y), app(app(filter, f), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, false), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(filter, f), ys)

The set Q consists of the following terms:

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.

APP(app(filter, f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → APP(f, y)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
APP(x1, x2)  =  APP(x1)
app(x1, x2)  =  app(x2)
filtersub  =  filtersub
true  =  true
cons  =  cons
filter  =  filter
false  =  false
nil  =  nil

Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

true > nil
cons > filter > [app₁, filtersub, false] > APP₁ > nil

Status:

APP₁: [1]
app₁: [1]
filtersub: multiset
true: multiset
cons: multiset
filter: multiset
false: multiset
nil: multiset

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

app(app(filter, f), nil) → nil
app(app(filter, f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(app(filtersub, app(f, y)), f), app(app(cons, y), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, true), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(cons, y), app(app(filter, f), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, false), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(filter, f), ys)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(app(filter, f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(app(filtersub, app(f, y)), f), app(app(cons, y), ys))
app(app(app(filtersub, true), f), app(app(cons, y), ys)) → app(app(cons, y), app(app(filter, f), ys))
