Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Secret_07_SRS/num-518)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(a(a(x1))) b(b(c(c(x1)))) (1)
c(b(x1)) a(a(c(x1))) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.
