Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex15_Luc98)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

and(true,X) X (1)
and(false,Y) false (2)
if(true,X,Y) X (3)
if(false,X,Y) Y (4)
add(0,X) X (5)
add(s(X),Y) s(add(X,Y)) (6)
first(0,X) nil (7)
first(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) cons(Y,first(X,Z)) (8)
from(X) cons(X,from(s(X))) (9)
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 = from(X)
cons(X,from(s(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0σ] and σ = {X/s(X)} and C = cons(X,)
