The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

g(X) h(activate(X)) (1)
c d (2)
h(n__d) g(n__c) (3)
d n__d (4)
c n__c (5)
activate(n__d) d (6)
activate(n__c) c (7)
activate(X) X (8)
The evaluation strategy is outermost

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = h(activate(n__c))
h(c)
h(d)
h(n__d)
g(n__c)
h(activate(n__c))
= t5
where t5 = t0
