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

SPLIT(N, add(M, Y)) → SPLIT(N, Y)

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

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

F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Y)
F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Z)
QSORT(add(N, X)) → F_3(split(N, X), N, X)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

lt(0, s(X)) → true
lt(s(X), 0) → false
lt(s(X), s(Y)) → lt(X, Y)
append(nil, Y) → Y
append(add(N, X), Y) → add(N, append(X, Y))
split(N, nil) → pair(nil, nil)
split(N, add(M, Y)) → f_1(split(N, Y), N, M, Y)
f_1(pair(X, Z), N, M, Y) → f_2(lt(N, M), N, M, Y, X, Z)

qsort(add(N, X)) → f_3(split(N, X), N, X)
f_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → append(qsort(Y), add(X, qsort(Z)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

lt(0, s(x0))
lt(s(x0), 0)
lt(s(x0), s(x1))
append(nil, x0)
append(add(x0, x1), x2)
split(x0, nil)
split(x0, add(x1, x2))
f_1(pair(x0, x1), x2, x3, x4)
f_2(true, x0, x1, x2, x3, x4)
f_2(false, x0, x1, x2, x3, x4)
qsort(nil)
qsort(add(x0, x1))
f_3(pair(x0, x1), x2, x3)

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.

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
We deleted the following terms from Q as each root-symbol of these terms does neither occur in P nor in R.

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


QSORT(add(N, X)) → F_3(split(N, X), N, X)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Y)
F_3(pair(Y, Z), N, X) → QSORT(Z)
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(F_3(x1, x2, x3)) = x1   
POL(QSORT(x1)) = x1   
POL(add(x1, x2)) = 1 + x2   
POL(f_1(x1, x2, x3, x4)) = 1 + x1   
POL(f_2(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6)) = 1 + x5 + x6   
POL(false) = 0   
POL(lt(x1, x2)) = 0   
POL(nil) = 0   
POL(pair(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2   
POL(s(x1)) = 0   
POL(split(x1, x2)) = x2   
POL(true) = 0   

The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

f_2(true, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(X, add(M, Z))
f_2(false, N, M, Y, X, Z) → pair(add(M, X), Z)
f_1(pair(X, Z), N, M, Y) → f_2(lt(N, M), N, M, Y, X, Z)
split(N, add(M, Y)) → f_1(split(N, Y), N, M, Y)
split(N, nil) → pair(nil, nil)
