Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/#4.12a)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

h(x,y) f(x,y,x) (1)
f(0,1,x) h(x,x) (2)
g(x,y) x (3)
g(x,y) y (4)
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))
h(g(0,1),g(0,1))
f(g(0,1),g(0,1),g(0,1))
= t4
where t4 = t0
