Left Termination of the query pattern interleave_in_3(g, g, a) w.r.t. the given Prolog program could successfully be proven:



↳ Prolog
  ↳ PrologToPiTRSProof

Clauses:

interleave([], Xs, Xs).

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

interleave_in_gga([], Xs, Xs) → interleave_out_gga([], Xs, Xs)
interleave_in_gga(.(X, Xs), Ys, .(X, Zs)) → U1_gga(X, Xs, Ys, Zs, interleave_in_gga(Ys, Xs, Zs))
U1_gga(X, Xs, Ys, Zs, interleave_out_gga(Ys, Xs, Zs)) → interleave_out_gga(.(X, Xs), Ys, .(X, Zs))

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
interleave_in_gga(x1, x2, x3)  =  interleave_in_gga(x1, x2)
[]  =  []
interleave_out_gga(x1, x2, x3)  =  interleave_out_gga(x3)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
U1_gga(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U1_gga(x1, x5)
