Prover = TRS(tech=GUIDED_UNF_TRIPLES, nb_unfoldings=unlimited, unfold_variables=false, max_nb_coefficients=12, max_nb_unfolded_rules=-1, strategy=LEFTMOST_NE)

** BEGIN proof argument **
All the DP problems were proved finite.
As all the involved DP processors are sound,
the TRS under analysis terminates.
** END proof argument **

** BEGIN proof description **
## Searching for a generalized rewrite rule
(a rule whose right-hand side contains a variable
that does not occur in the left-hand side)...
No generalized rewrite rule found!

## Applying the DP framework...
## Round 1:
  ## DP problem: 
  Dependency pairs = [merge^#(++(_0,_1),++(u,v)) -> merge^#(_1,++(u,v))]
  TRS = {merge(_0,nil) -> _0, merge(nil,_0) -> _0, merge(++(_0,_1),++(u,v)) -> ++(_0,merge(_1,++(u,v))), merge(++(_0,_1),++(u,v)) -> ++(u,merge(++(_0,_1),v))}
    ## Trying with homeomorphic embeddings... Success!
  This DP problem is finite.
