Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Zantema_08/toyama_out)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(0,1,x) f(x,x,x) (1)
g(x,y) x (2)
g(x,y) y (3)
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 = f(g(0,1),g(0,1),g(0,1))
f(g(0,1),1,g(0,1))
f(0,1,g(0,1))
f(g(0,1),g(0,1),g(0,1))
= t3
where t3 = t0
