1 AC Dependency Pair Transformation

• The following set of (strict) dependency pairs is constructed for the TRS.

  sum#(app(l,cons(x,cons(y,k))))	→	sum#(app(l,sum(cons(x,cons(y,k)))))	(19)
  sum#(cons(x,cons(y,l)))	→	plus#(x,y)	(20)
  minus#(minus(x,y),z)	→	minus#(x,plus(y,z))	(21)
  plus#(s(x),y)	→	plus#(x,y)	(22)
  quot#(s(x),s(y))	→	quot#(minus(x,y),s(y))	(23)
  quot#(s(x),s(y))	→	minus#(x,y)	(24)
  minus#(minus(x,y),z)	→	plus#(y,z)	(25)
  app#(cons(x,l),k)	→	app#(l,k)	(26)
  sum#(cons(x,cons(y,l)))	→	sum#(cons(plus(x,y),l))	(27)
  sum#(app(l,cons(x,cons(y,k))))	→	app#(l,sum(cons(x,cons(y,k))))	(28)

  sum#(app(l,cons(x,cons(y,k))))	→	sum#(cons(x,cons(y,k)))	(30)

  Finiteness for these DPs in combination with the equational DPs is proven as follows.
