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:

reverse_concatenate_in(.(X, L1), L2, L3) → U4(X, L1, L2, L3, reverse_concatenate_in(L1, .(X, L2), L3))
reverse_concatenate_in([], L, L) → reverse_concatenate_out([], L, L)
U4(X, L1, L2, L3, reverse_concatenate_out(L1, .(X, L2), L3)) → reverse_concatenate_out(.(X, L1), L2, L3)

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
reverse_concatenate_in(x1, x2, x3)  =  reverse_concatenate_in(x1, x2)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
U4(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U4(x5)
[]  =  []
reverse_concatenate_out(x1, x2, x3)  =  reverse_concatenate_out(x3)
