(3) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04].

The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.

D¹(+(x, y)) → D¹(x)
D¹(+(x, y)) → D¹(y)
D¹(*(x, y)) → D¹(x)
D¹(*(x, y)) → D¹(y)
D¹(-(x, y)) → D¹(x)
D¹(-(x, y)) → D¹(y)
D¹(minus(x)) → D¹(x)
D¹(div(x, y)) → D¹(x)
D¹(div(x, y)) → D¹(y)
D¹(ln(x)) → D¹(x)

The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(*(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂   
POL(+(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂   
POL(-(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂   
POL(D¹(x₁)) = x₁
