Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

tree_member_in_ag(X, tree(X, X1, X2)) → tree_member_out_ag(X, tree(X, X1, X2))
tree_member_in_ag(X, tree(X1, Left, X2)) → U1_ag(X, X1, Left, X2, tree_member_in_ag(X, Left))
