Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex4_7_37_Bor03_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

sel(s(N),cons(X)) sel(N,XS) (1)
from(X) cons(X) (2)
sel(0,cons(X)) X (3)
minus(X,0) 0 (4)
minus(s(X),s(Y)) minus(X,Y) (5)
quot(0,s(Y)) 0 (6)
quot(s(X),s(Y)) s(quot(minus(X,Y),s(Y))) (7)
zWquot(XS,nil) nil (8)
zWquot(nil,XS) nil (9)
zWquot(cons(X),cons(Y)) cons(quot(X,Y)) (10)
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(N),cons(X))
sel(N,sel(s(N),cons(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0] and C = sel(N,)
