Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex3_12_Luc96a_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

sel(s(X),cons(Y)) sel(X,Z) (1)
from(X) cons(X) (2)
sel(0,cons(X)) X (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 = sel(s(X),cons(Y))
sel(X,sel(s(X),cons(Y)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0] and C = sel(X,)
