We show the termination of the TRS R:

  from(X) -> cons(X,n__from(s(X)))
  first(|0|(),Z) -> nil()
  first(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> cons(Y,n__first(X,activate(Z)))
  sel(|0|(),cons(X,Z)) -> X
  sel(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> sel(X,activate(Z))
  from(X) -> n__from(X)
  first(X1,X2) -> n__first(X1,X2)
  activate(n__from(X)) -> from(X)
  activate(n__first(X1,X2)) -> first(X1,X2)
  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: sel#(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> sel#(X,activate(Z))
p3: sel#(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) -> activate#(Z)
p4: activate#(n__from(X)) -> from#(X)
p5: activate#(n__first(X1,X2)) -> first#(X1,X2)

and R consists of:

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

The estimated dependency graph contains the following SCCs:

  {p2}
  {p1, p5}

The set of usable rules consists of

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