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

TIMES(s(x), y) → TIMES(p(s(x)), y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

p(s(0)) → 0
p(s(s(x))) → s(p(s(x)))

The set Q consists of the following terms:

p(s(0))
p(s(s(x0)))

We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.
By using the rule removal processor [15] with the following polynomial ordering [25], at least one Dependency Pair or term rewrite system rule of this QDP problem can be strictly oriented.

Strictly oriented rules of the TRS R:

p(s(0)) → 0

Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(0) = 1   
POL(TIMES(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2   
POL(p(x1)) = x1   
POL(s(x1)) = 2·x1
