We use the technique of [30].Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

delmin_in(tree(X, Left, X1), Y, tree(X, Left1, X2)) → U6(X, Left, X1, Y, Left1, X2, delmin_in(Left, Y, Left1))
delmin_in(tree(Y, void, Right), Y, Right) → delmin_out(tree(Y, void, Right), Y, Right)
U6(X, Left, X1, Y, Left1, X2, delmin_out(Left, Y, Left1)) → delmin_out(tree(X, Left, X1), Y, tree(X, Left1, X2))

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
delmin_in(x1, x2, x3)  =  delmin_in(x3)
tree(x1, x2, x3)  =  tree(x1, x2, x3)
U6(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7)  =  U6(x7)
void  =  void
delmin_out(x1, x2, x3)  =  delmin_out
