The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

dropLast(cons(x, cons(y, ys))) → cons(x, dropLast(cons(y, ys)))
dropLast(cons(x, nil)) → nil

(42) Obligation:

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

REV(cons(x0, x1), y1) → IF(false, dropLast(cons(x0, x1)), append(y1, last(cons(x0, x1))), y1)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

dropLast(cons(x, nil)) → nil
dropLast(cons(x, cons(y, ys))) → cons(x, dropLast(cons(y, ys)))
last(cons(x, nil)) → x
last(cons(x, cons(y, ys))) → last(cons(y, ys))
append(nil, ys) → ys
append(cons(x, xs), ys) → cons(x, append(xs, ys))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

last(cons(x0, nil))
last(cons(x0, cons(x1, x2)))
dropLast(nil)
dropLast(cons(x0, nil))
dropLast(cons(x0, cons(x1, x2)))
append(nil, x0)
append(cons(x0, x1), x2)

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