Left Termination of the query pattern member_in_2(a, g) w.r.t. the given Prolog program could successfully be proven:

(0) Obligation:

Clauses:

member(X, .(Y, Xs)) :- member(X, Xs).
member(X, .(X, Xs)).

Queries:

member(a,g).

(1) PrologToDTProblemTransformerProof (SOUND transformation)

Built DT problem from termination graph.

(2) Obligation:

Triples:

member1(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) :- member1(T25, T24).

Clauses:

memberc1(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) :- memberc1(T25, T24).
memberc1(T37, .(T7, .(T37, T38))).
memberc1(T43, .(T43, T44)).

Afs:

member1(x1, x2)  =  member1(x2)

(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:
member1_in: (f,b)
Transforming TRIPLES into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) → U1_AG(T25, T7, T23, T24, member1_in_ag(T25, T24))
MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) → MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, T24)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
member1_in_ag(x1, x2)  =  member1_in_ag(x2)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
MEMBER1_IN_AG(x1, x2)  =  MEMBER1_IN_AG(x2)
U1_AG(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U1_AG(x2, x3, x4, x5)

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

Infinitary Constructor Rewriting Termination of PiDP implies Termination of TRIPLES

(4) Obligation:

Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) → U1_AG(T25, T7, T23, T24, member1_in_ag(T25, T24))
MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) → MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, T24)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
member1_in_ag(x1, x2)  =  member1_in_ag(x2)
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
MEMBER1_IN_AG(x1, x2)  =  MEMBER1_IN_AG(x2)
U1_AG(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5)  =  U1_AG(x2, x3, x4, x5)

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

(5) DependencyGraphProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The approximation of the Dependency Graph [LOPSTR] contains 1 SCC with 1 less node.

(6) Obligation:

Pi DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, .(T7, .(T23, T24))) → MEMBER1_IN_AG(T25, T24)

R is empty.
The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
.(x1, x2)  =  .(x1, x2)
MEMBER1_IN_AG(x1, x2)  =  MEMBER1_IN_AG(x2)

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

(7) PiDPToQDPProof (SOUND transformation)

Transforming (infinitary) constructor rewriting Pi-DP problem [LOPSTR] into ordinary QDP problem [LPAR04] by application of Pi.

(8) Obligation:

Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

MEMBER1_IN_AG(.(T7, .(T23, T24))) → MEMBER1_IN_AG(T24)

R is empty.
Q is empty.
We have to consider all (P,Q,R)-chains.

(9) QDPSizeChangeProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By using the subterm criterion [SUBTERM_CRITERION] together with the size-change analysis [AAECC05] we have proven that there are no infinite chains for this DP problem.

From the DPs we obtained the following set of size-change graphs:

• MEMBER1_IN_AG(.(T7, .(T23, T24))) → MEMBER1_IN_AG(T24)
  The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1

(10) YES
