Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be proven:

(0) Obligation:

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

app(id, x) → x
app(add, 0) → id
app(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(add, x), y))
app(app(map, f), nil) → nil
app(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → app(app(cons, app(f, x)), app(app(map, f), xs))

Q is empty.

(1) DependencyPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Using Dependency Pairs [AG00,LPAR04] we result in the following initial DP problem.

(2) Obligation:

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

APP(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → APP(s, app(app(add, x), y))
APP(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(add, x), y)
APP(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → APP(add, x)
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(app(cons, app(f, x)), app(app(map, f), xs))
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(cons, app(f, x))
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(f, x)
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(app(map, f), xs)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(add, 0) → id
app(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(add, x), y))
app(app(map, f), nil) → nil
app(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → app(app(cons, app(f, x)), app(app(map, f), xs))

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

(3) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LPAR04,FROCOS05,EDGSTAR] contains 1 SCC with 4 less nodes.

(4) Obligation:

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

APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(f, x)
APP(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(add, x), y)
APP(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → APP(app(map, f), xs)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(add, 0) → id
app(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(add, x), y))
app(app(map, f), nil) → nil
app(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → app(app(cons, app(f, x)), app(app(map, f), xs))

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

(5) 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(add, app(s, x)), y) → APP(app(add, x), y)
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: Recursive path order with status [RPO].
Quasi-Precedence:

[app₂, map] > add > [APP₂, cons]
[app₂, map] > add > id

Status:

APP₂: [1,2]
app₂: multiset
map: multiset
cons: multiset
add: multiset
s: multiset
0: multiset
id: multiset

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] were oriented:

app(add, 0) → id

(6) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

app(id, x) → x
app(add, 0) → id
app(app(add, app(s, x)), y) → app(s, app(app(add, x), y))
app(app(map, f), nil) → nil
app(app(map, f), app(app(cons, x), xs)) → app(app(cons, app(f, x)), app(app(map, f), xs))

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

(7) PisEmptyProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.

(8) TRUE
