Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Waldmann_06/jwno6)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(x,h(y)) h(f(f(h(a),y),x)) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(h(h(x799)),h(h(x877)))
h(f(f(h(a),h(x877)),h(h(x799))))
h(h(f(f(h(a),h(x799)),f(h(a),h(x877)))))
h(h(f(h(f(f(h(a),x799),h(a))),f(h(a),h(x877)))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x799)))),f(h(a),h(x877)))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x799)))),h(f(f(h(a),x877),h(a))))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x799)))),h(h(f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x877)))))))
= t6
where t6 = C[t0σ] and σ = {x877/f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x877)), x799/f(f(h(a),a),f(h(a),x799))} and C = h(h())
