Input (TPDB SRS_Standard/Waldmann_07_size12/size-12-alpha-3-num-211)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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