By using the usable rules with reduction pair processor [15] with a polynomial ordering [25], all dependency pairs and the corresponding usable rules [17] can be oriented non-strictly. All non-usable rules are removed, and those dependency pairs and usable rules that have been oriented strictly or contain non-usable symbols in their left-hand side are removed as well.

No dependency pairs are removed.

The following rules are removed from R:

append(nil, l) → l
Used ordering: POLO with Polynomial interpretation [25]:

POL(append(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2   
POL(append1(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + 2·x2   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = 2·x1 + x2
