1 Infinite derivation
There is a self-embedding derivation structure which implies nontermination.
a
(a b)n + 1 c c →+ a
(a b)n + 2 c c
The derivation can be derived as follows.
-

The derivation pattern is obtained from the following self-overlapping overlap closure (type 1)
-
(a b)n + 1 c →+ c
(b a)n + 1:
The derivation pattern is obtained from lifting the following derivation pattern.
-
(a b)n + 1 c →+ c b
(a b)n a:
The derivation pattern is equivalent to the following derivation pattern.
-
