Certification Problem

Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-3-num-199)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x1) → x1 (1)
a(b(x1)) → b(b(a(a(c(a(x1)))))) (2)
c(c(b(x1))) → x1 (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by matchbox @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = a(a(a(b(b(c(x1))))))
→ a(a(b(b(a(a(c(a(b(c(x1))))))))))
→ a(a(b(b(a(c(a(b(c(x1)))))))))
