Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/#4.3)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(g(x,y),x,z) f(z,z,z) (1)
g(x,y) x (2)
g(x,y) y (3)
The evaluation strategy is outermost

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(g(x',y),g(x',y),g(x',y))
f(g(x',y),x',g(x',y))
f(g(x',y),g(x',y),g(x',y))
= t2
where t2 = t0
