The DP Problem is simplified using the Induction Calculus [18] with the following steps:
Note that final constraints are written in bold face.

For Pair MINUS(x, y) → HELP(lt(y, x), x, y) the following chains were created:

We consider the chain HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y)), MINUS(x, y) → HELP(lt(y, x), x, y) which results in the following constraint:
(1) (MINUS(x2, s(x3))=MINUS(x4, x5) ⇒ MINUS(x4, x5)≥HELP(lt(x5, x4), x4, x5))

We simplified constraint (1) using rules (I), (II), (III) which results in the following new constraint:
(2) (MINUS(x2, s(x3))≥HELP(lt(s(x3), x2), x2, s(x3)))

For Pair HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y)) the following chains were created:

We consider the chain MINUS(x, y) → HELP(lt(y, x), x, y), HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y)) which results in the following constraint:
(3)    (HELP(lt(x7, x6), x6, x7)=HELP(true, x8, x9) ⇒ HELP(true, x8, x9)≥MINUS(x8, s(x9)))

We simplified constraint (3) using rules (I), (II), (III) which results in the following new constraint:
(4)    (lt(x7, x6)=true ⇒ HELP(true, x6, x7)≥MINUS(x6, s(x7)))

We simplified constraint (4) using rule (V) (with possible (I) afterwards) using induction on lt(x7, x6)=true which results in the following new constraints:
(5)    (true=true ⇒ HELP(true, s(x12), 0)≥MINUS(s(x12), s(0)))

(6)    (lt(x14, x15)=true∧(lt(x14, x15)=true ⇒ HELP(true, x15, x14)≥MINUS(x15, s(x14))) ⇒ HELP(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥MINUS(s(x15), s(s(x14))))

We simplified constraint (5) using rules (I), (II) which results in the following new constraint:
(7)    (HELP(true, s(x12), 0)≥MINUS(s(x12), s(0)))

We simplified constraint (6) using rule (VI) where we applied the induction hypothesis (lt(x14, x15)=true ⇒ HELP(true, x15, x14)≥MINUS(x15, s(x14))) with σ = [ ] which results in the following new constraint:
(8)    (HELP(true, x15, x14)≥MINUS(x15, s(x14)) ⇒ HELP(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥MINUS(s(x15), s(s(x14))))

To summarize, we get the following constraints P_≥ for the following pairs.

MINUS(x, y) → HELP(lt(y, x), x, y)
- (MINUS(x2, s(x3))≥HELP(lt(s(x3), x2), x2, s(x3)))
HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y))
- (HELP(true, s(x12), 0)≥MINUS(s(x12), s(0)))
- (HELP(true, x15, x14)≥MINUS(x15, s(x14)) ⇒ HELP(true, s(x15), s(x14))≥MINUS(s(x15), s(s(x14))))

The constraints for P_> respective P_bound are constructed from P_≥ where we just replace every occurence of "t ≥ s" in P_≥ by "t > s" respective "t ≥ c". Here c stands for the fresh constant used for P_bound.
Using the following integer polynomial ordering the resulting constraints can be solved
Polynomial interpretation [18]:

POL(0) = 0
POL(HELP(x₁, x₂, x₃)) = -1 - x₁ + x₂ - x₃
POL(MINUS(x₁, x₂)) = -1 + x₁ - x₂
POL(c) = -2
POL(false) = 0
POL(lt(x₁, x₂)) = 0
POL(s(x₁)) = 1 + x₁
POL(true) = 0

The following pairs are in P_>:

HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y))

The following pairs are in P_bound:

HELP(true, x, y) → MINUS(x, s(y))

The following rules are usable:

false → lt(x, 0)
true → lt(0, s(x))
lt(x, y) → lt(s(x), s(y))
