Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_AG01/#4.4)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(g(x),x,y) → f(y,y,g(y)) (1)
g(g(x)) → g(x) (2)

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#(g(x),x,y) → f#(y,y,g(y)) (3)
f#(g(x),x,y) → g#(y) (4)
It remains to prove infiniteness of the resulting DP problem.

1.1 Pair and Rule Removal

Some pairs and rules have been removed and it remains to prove infiniteness of the remaing problem. The following pairs have been deleted.
f#(g(x),x,y) → g#(y) (4)
and the following rules have been deleted.

1.1.1 Loop

The following loop proves infiniteness of the DP problem.

t0 = f#(g(g(x')),g(g(x')),g(g(x'')))
→R f#(g(g(x')),g(x'),g(g(x'')))
→P f#(g(g(x'')),g(g(x'')),g(g(g(x''))))
= t2
where t2 = t0σ and σ = {x'/x'', x''/g(x'')}
