(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(f, x)
APP(app(app(comp, f), g), x) → APP(f, app(g, x))
APP(app(app(comp, f), g), x) → APP(g, x)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
APP(x1, x2)  =  x1
app(x1, x2)  =  app(x1, x2)
map  =  map
comp  =  comp

(9) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04]. Here, we combined the reduction pair processor with the A-transformation [FROCOS05] which results in the following intermediate Q-DP Problem.

map1(f, cons(x, xs)) → map1(f, xs)

The a-transformed usable rules are

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(app(map, f), xs)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
