The underlying signature is as follows:
{a/0, b/0, c/0, d/0, e/0, f/2, g/1, h/1, a'/0, b'/0}Property / Task
Prove or disprove commutation.Answer / Result
No.Proof (by ACP @ CoCo 2023)
1 Non-Joinable Fork
The systems are not commuting due to the following forking derivations.
and
There is no possibility to join
s1→R*·←S*
t1
for the following reason:
- When applying the cap-function on both terms (where variables may be treated like constants)
then the resulting terms do not unify.
