Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/SK90/4.49)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(x,y,f(z,u,v)) f(f(x,y,z),u,f(x,y,v)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
f#(x,y,f(z,u,v)) f#(f(x,y,z),u,f(x,y,v)) (2)
f#(x,y,f(z,u,v)) f#(x,y,z) (3)
f#(x,y,f(z,u,v)) f#(x,y,v) (4)
It remains to prove infiniteness of the resulting DP problem.

1.1 Loop

The following loop proves infiniteness of the DP problem.

t0 = f#(x,y,f(z,u,v))
P f#(f(x,y,z),u,f(x,y,v))
= t1
where t1 = t0σ and σ = {x/f(x,y,z), y/u, z/x, u/y, v/v}
