Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(empty, l) → l
f(cons(x, k), l) → g(k, l, cons(x, k))
g(a, b, c) → f(a, cons(b, c))

Q is empty.

The TRS is overlay and locally confluent. By [19] we can switch to innermost.

f(empty, l) → l
f(cons(x, k), l) → g(k, l, cons(x, k))
g(a, b, c) → f(a, cons(b, c))

Using Dependency Pairs [1,15] we result in the following initial DP problem:
Q DP problem:
The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(cons(x, k), l) → G(k, l, cons(x, k))
G(a, b, c) → F(a, cons(b, c))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(empty, l) → l
f(cons(x, k), l) → g(k, l, cons(x, k))
g(a, b, c) → f(a, cons(b, c))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

f(empty, x0)
f(cons(x0, x1), x2)
g(x0, x1, x2)

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

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
As all Q-normal forms are R-normal forms we are in the innermost case. Hence, by the usable rules processor [15] we can delete all non-usable rules [17] from R.

By using the subterm criterion [20] together with the size-change analysis [32] 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:
