Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_mixed_05/ex6)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(x,x) f(i(x),g(g(x))) (1)
f(x,y) x (2)
g(x) i(x) (3)
f(x,i(x)) f(x,x) (4)
f(i(x),i(g(x))) a (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(x306,x306)
f(i(x306),g(g(x306)))
f(i(x306),i(g(x306)))
f(i(x306),i(i(x306)))
f(i(x306),i(x306))
= t4
where t4 = t0σ and σ = {x306/i(x306)}
