Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/HirokawaMiddeldorp_04/n007)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(x,y) f(x,x) (1)
f(s(x),y) f(y,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#(x,y) f#(x,x) (3)
f#(s(x),y) f#(y,x) (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)
P f#(x,x)
= t1
where t1 = t0σ and σ = {x/x, y/x}
