Left Termination proof of /tmp/tmpyGJgDX/flatlength-bbf.pl

Left Termination of the query pattern fl_in_3(g, g, a) w.r.t. the given Prolog program could successfully be proven:

↳ Prolog

  ↳ PrologToPiTRSProof

Clauses:

fl([], [], 0).
fl(.(E, X), R, s(Z)) :- ','(append(E, Y, R), fl(X, Y, Z)).
append([], X, X).
append(.(X, Xs), Ys, .(X, Zs)) :- append(Xs, Ys, Zs).

Queries:

fl(g,g,a).

We use the technique of [30]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
fl_in: (b,b,f)
append_in: (b,f,b)
