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

reverse_in_ga(.(X, Xs), Ys) → U2_ga(X, Xs, Ys, reverse_in_ga(Xs, Zs))
reverse_in_ga([], []) → reverse_out_ga([], [])

U3_ga(X, Xs, Ys, app_out_gga(Zs, .(X, []), Ys)) → reverse_out_ga(.(X, Xs), Ys)

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
reverse_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  reverse_in_ga(x1)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
