Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
ap#(ap(ff,x),x) ap#(x,ap(ff,x)) (2)
ap#(ap(ff,x),x) ap#(ap(cons,x),nil) (3)
ap#(ap(ff,x),x) ap#(ap(x,ap(ff,x)),ap(ap(cons,x),nil)) (4)
ap#(ap(ff,x),x) ap#(cons,x) (5)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
