We use the reduction pair processor [15].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


MARK(first(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)
MARK(from(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(from(X)) → A__FROM(mark(X))
MARK(s(X)) → MARK(X)
MARK(first(X1, X2)) → MARK(X2)
MARK(first(X1, X2)) → A__FIRST(mark(X1), mark(X2))
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.

A__FIRST(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) → MARK(Y)
MARK(cons(X1, X2)) → MARK(X1)
A__FROM(X) → MARK(X)
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(0) = 0   
POL(A__FIRST(x1, x2)) = x2   
POL(A__FROM(x1)) = x1   
POL(MARK(x1)) = x1   
POL(a__first(x1, x2)) = 1 + x1 + x2   
POL(a__from(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = x1   
POL(first(x1, x2)) = 1 + x1 + x2   
POL(from(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(mark(x1)) = x1   
POL(nil) = 1   
POL(s(x1)) = 1 + x1   

The following usable rules [17] were oriented:

mark(s(X)) → s(mark(X))
mark(cons(X1, X2)) → cons(mark(X1), X2)
mark(0) → 0
mark(nil) → nil
a__first(X1, X2) → first(X1, X2)
