The system is accessible function passing by a sort ordering that equates all sorts. We start by computing the following initial DP problem: P1. (1) take#(suc(n), cons(x, l)) => take#(n, l) ***** We apply the Subterm Criterion Processor on P1. We use the following projection function: nu(take#) = 1 We thus have: (1) suc(n) |>| n All DPs are strictly oriented, and may be removed. Hence, this DP problem is finite.
