Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_CSR_05/Ex4_Zan97)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(X) cons(X,f(g(X))) (1)
g(0) s(0) (2)
g(s(X)) s(s(g(X))) (3)
sel(0,cons(X,Y)) X (4)
sel(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) sel(X,Z) (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(X)
cons(X,f(g(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0σ] and σ = {X/g(X)} and C = cons(X,)
