No rules are removed from R.

For Pair GEN(x, y, z) → IF(ge(z, x), x, y, z) the following chains were created:




To summarize, we get the following constraints P for the following pairs.



The constraints for P> respective Pbound 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 Pbound.
Using the following integer polynomial ordering the resulting constraints can be solved
Polynomial interpretation [18]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(GEN(x1, x2, x3)) = -1 + x1 + x2 - x3   
POL(IF(x1, x2, x3, x4)) = -x1 + x2 + x3 - x4
