Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_mixed_05/ex2)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

cons(x,cons(y,z)) big (1)
inf(x) cons(x,inf(s(x))) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = inf(x)
cons(x,inf(s(x)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0σ] and σ = {x/s(x)} and C = cons(x,)
