The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(n__a,n__b,X) f(X,X,X) (1)
c a (2)
c b (3)
a n__a (4)
b n__b (5)
activate(n__a) a (6)

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(c,c,c)
f(c,b,c)
f(c,n__b,c)
f(a,n__b,c)
f(n__a,n__b,c)
f(c,c,c)
= t5
where t5 = t0
