Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_CSR_05/Ex4_7_15_Bor03)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(0) cons(0,f(s(0))) (1)
f(s(0)) f(p(s(0))) (2)
p(s(0)) 0 (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(0)
cons(0,f(s(0)))
cons(0,f(p(s(0))))
cons(0,f(0))
= t3
where t3 = C[t0] and C = cons(0,)
