Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex5_DLMMU04_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

tail(cons(X)) XS (1)
pairNs cons(0) (2)
oddNs incr(pairNs) (3)
incr(cons(X)) cons(s(X)) (4)
take(0,XS) nil (5)
take(s(N),cons(X)) cons(X) (6)
zip(nil,XS) nil (7)
zip(X,nil) nil (8)
zip(cons(X),cons(Y)) cons(pair(X,Y)) (9)
repItems(nil) nil (10)
repItems(cons(X)) cons(X) (11)
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 = tail(cons(X))
tail(cons(X))
= t1
where t1 = t0
