Q is empty.
We have to consider all (P,Q,R)-chains.
By using the usable rules with reduction pair processor [15] with a polynomial ordering [25], all dependency pairs and the corresponding usable rules [17] can be oriented non-strictly. All non-usable rules are removed, and those dependency pairs and usable rules that have been oriented strictly or contain non-usable symbols in their left-hand side are removed as well.

The following dependency pairs can be deleted:

P_IN_G(cons(s(s(X)), cons(Y, Xs))) → P_IN_G(cons(X, cons(Y, Xs)))
No rules are removed from R.

Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(P_IN_G(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + x2   
POL(s(x1)) = 2·x1

Q DP problem:
P is empty.
R is empty.
Q is empty.
We have to consider all (P,Q,R)-chains.
The TRS P is empty. Hence, there is no (P,Q,R) chain.
