We show the termination of the TRS R:

  first(|0|(),X) -> nil()
  first(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> cons(Y,n__first(X,activate(Z)))
  from(X) -> cons(X,n__from(n__s(X)))
  first(X1,X2) -> n__first(X1,X2)
  from(X) -> n__from(X)
  s(X) -> n__s(X)
  activate(n__first(X1,X2)) -> first(activate(X1),activate(X2))
  activate(n__from(X)) -> from(activate(X))
  activate(n__s(X)) -> s(activate(X))
  activate(X) -> X

-- SCC decomposition.

Consider the dependency pair problem (P, R), where P consists of

p1: first#(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> activate#(Z)
p2: activate#(n__first(X1,X2)) -> first#(activate(X1),activate(X2))
p3: activate#(n__first(X1,X2)) -> activate#(X1)
p4: activate#(n__first(X1,X2)) -> activate#(X2)
p5: activate#(n__from(X)) -> from#(activate(X))
p6: activate#(n__from(X)) -> activate#(X)
p7: activate#(n__s(X)) -> s#(activate(X))
p8: activate#(n__s(X)) -> activate#(X)

and R consists of:

r1: first(|0|(),X) -> nil()
r2: first(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> cons(Y,n__first(X,activate(Z)))
r3: from(X) -> cons(X,n__from(n__s(X)))
r4: first(X1,X2) -> n__first(X1,X2)
r5: from(X) -> n__from(X)
r6: s(X) -> n__s(X)
r7: activate(n__first(X1,X2)) -> first(activate(X1),activate(X2))
r8: activate(n__from(X)) -> from(activate(X))
r9: activate(n__s(X)) -> s(activate(X))
r10: activate(X) -> X

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p1, p2, p3, p4, p6, p8}


-- Reduction pair.

The set of usable rules consists of

  r1, r2, r3, r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, r10

Take the reduction pair:

  lexicographic combination of reduction pairs:
  
    1. matrix interpretations:
    
      carrier: N^1
      order: standard order
      interpretations:
        first#_A(x1,x2) = x2 + 1
        s_A(x1) = x1
        cons_A(x1,x2) = x2
        activate#_A(x1) = x1
        n__s_A(x1) = x1

        |0|_A() = 1
        nil_A() = 0
        from_A(x1) = x1 + 1
    
    2. lexicographic path order with precedence:
    
      precedence:
      
        first# > nil > first > n__first > activate > s > from > n__s > cons > activate# > |0| > n__from
      
      argument filter:
    
        pi(first#) = 2
        pi(s) = []
        pi(cons) = []
        pi(activate#) = []
        pi(n__s) = []
        pi(n__from) = []
        pi(n__first) = 2
        pi(activate) = [1]
        pi(first) = 2
        pi(|0|) = []
        pi(nil) = []
        pi(from) = []
    

The next rules are strictly ordered:

  p1, p3, p4, p5, p6

We remove them from the problem.

      carrier: N^1
      order: standard order
      interpretations:

We remove them from the problem.  Then no dependency pair remains.
