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

purge1(nil) -> nil
purge1(.2(x, y)) -> .2(x, purge1(remove2(x, y)))
remove2(x, nil) -> nil

We use the reduction pair processor [13].


The following pairs can be strictly oriented and are deleted.


REMOVE2(x, .2(y, z)) -> REMOVE2(x, z)
The remaining pairs can at least by weakly be oriented.

Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
REMOVE2(x1, x2)  =  REMOVE1(x2)
.2(x1, x2)  =  .1(x2)

Precedence:
