1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
t#(o(x1)) a#(x1) (7)
t#(e(x1)) n#(s(x1)) (8)
t#(e(x1)) s#(x1) (9)
a#(l(x1)) a#(t(x1)) (10)
a#(l(x1)) t#(x1) (11)
o#(m(a(x1))) t#(e(n(x1))) (12)
o#(m(a(x1))) n#(x1) (13)
s#(a(x1)) a#(t(o(m(a(t(e(x1))))))) (14)
s#(a(x1)) t#(o(m(a(t(e(x1)))))) (15)
s#(a(x1)) o#(m(a(t(e(x1))))) (16)
s#(a(x1)) a#(t(e(x1))) (17)
s#(a(x1)) t#(e(x1)) (18)
n#(s(x1)) a#(l(a(t(x1)))) (19)
n#(s(x1)) a#(t(x1)) (20)
n#(s(x1)) t#(x1) (21)

1.1 Reduction Pair Processor

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over the naturals
[n#(x1)] = -1 + 2 · x1
[a#(x1)] = 2 · x1
[n(x1)] = -1 + x1
[t#(x1)] = -1 + 2 · x1
[o#(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
[a(x1)] = x1
[m(x1)] = x1
[s(x1)] = 1 + x1
[l(x1)] = x1
[t(x1)] = -1 + x1
[o(x1)] = 1 + x1
[e(x1)] = 1 + x1
[s#(x1)] = 1 + 2 · x1
the pairs
t#(o(x1)) a#(x1) (7)
o#(m(a(x1))) n#(x1) (13)
s#(a(x1)) a#(t(o(m(a(t(e(x1))))))) (14)
s#(a(x1)) a#(t(e(x1))) (17)
n#(s(x1)) a#(l(a(t(x1)))) (19)
n#(s(x1)) a#(t(x1)) (20)
n#(s(x1)) t#(x1) (21)
could be deleted.

1.1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 2 components.
