Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_CSR_05/Ex1_GM99)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(a,b,X) f(X,X,X) (1)
c a (2)
c b (3)

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#(a,b,X) f#(X,X,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#(c,c,c)
R f#(c,b,c)
R f#(a,b,c)
P f#(c,c,c)
= t3
where t3 = t0
