(7) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

APP(app(twice, f), x) → APP(f, x)
APP(app(twice, f), x) → APP(f, app(f, x))
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, h), t)) → APP(f, h)
APP(app(fmap, app(app(cons, f), t_f)), x) → APP(f, x)

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(x1, x2)
twice  =  twice
map  =  map
cons  =  cons
fmap  =  fmap
t_f  =  t_f
nil  =  nil
