(3) TriplesToPiDPProof (SOUND transformation)

We use the technique of [LOPSTR]. With regard to the inferred argument filtering the predicates were used in the following modes:
less1_in: (b,f)
less35_in: (b)
Transforming TRIPLES into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

LESS1_IN_GA(s(T21), 0) → U2_GA(T21, less35_in_g(T21))
LESS1_IN_GA(s(T21), 0) → LESS35_IN_G(T21)
LESS35_IN_G(s(T34)) → U1_G(T34, less35_in_g(T34))
LESS35_IN_G(s(T34)) → LESS35_IN_G(T34)
LESS1_IN_GA(s(T21), s(T41)) → U3_GA(T21, T41, less1_in_ga(T21, T41))
LESS1_IN_GA(s(T21), s(T41)) → LESS1_IN_GA(T21, T41)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
less1_in_ga(x1, x2)  =  less1_in_ga(x1)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
less35_in_g(x1)  =  less35_in_g(x1)
0  =  0
LESS1_IN_GA(x1, x2)  =  LESS1_IN_GA(x1)
U2_GA(x1, x2)  =  U2_GA(x1, x2)
LESS35_IN_G(x1)  =  LESS35_IN_G(x1)
U1_G(x1, x2)  =  U1_G(x1, x2)
U3_GA(x1, x2, x3)  =  U3_GA(x1, x3)

We have to consider all (P,R,Pi)-chains
