countstack1_in: (b,f)
Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

countstack1_in_ga(empty, 0) → countstack1_out_ga(empty, 0)
countstack1_in_ga(push(nil, T11), T8) → U1_ga(T11, T8, countstack1_in_ga(T11, T8))
countstack1_in_ga(push(cons(T21, T22), T23), s(T14)) → U2_ga(T21, T22, T23, T14, countstack1_in_ga(push(T21, push(T22, T23)), T14))

U1_ga(T11, T8, countstack1_out_ga(T11, T8)) → countstack1_out_ga(push(nil, T11), T8)

(13) UsableRulesReductionPairsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the usable rules with reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with a polynomial ordering [POLO], all dependency pairs and the corresponding usable rules [FROCOS05] 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:

COUNTSTACK1_IN_GA(push(cons(T21, T22), T23)) → COUNTSTACK1_IN_GA(push(T21, push(T22, T23)))
COUNTSTACK1_IN_GA(push(nil, T11)) → COUNTSTACK1_IN_GA(T11)
No rules are removed from R.

Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(COUNTSTACK1_IN_GA(x1)) = 2·x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2 + 2·x1 + 2·x2
