The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


COPY(s(x), y, z) → COPY(x, y, cons(f(y), z))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
none
Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
COPY(x1, x2, x3)  =  COPY(x1, x3)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
cons(x1, x2)  =  cons
f(x1)  =  f(x1)
nil  =  nil
copy(x1, x2, x3)  =  copy(x1, x2, x3)
n  =  n

Lexicographic path order with status [19].
Precedence:
s1 > COPY2 > f1
s1 > cons > f1
nil > copy3 > f1

COPY2: [2,1]
f1: multiset
copy3: multiset
s1: multiset
nil: multiset
