Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/LengthOfFiniteLists_nosorts_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

and(tt) X (1)
length(cons(N)) s(length(L)) (2)
zeros cons(0) (3)
length(nil) 0 (4)
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 = and(tt)
and(tt)
= t1
where t1 = t0
