Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex4_7_56_Bor03_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

after(s(N),cons(X)) after(N,XS) (1)
from(X) cons(X) (2)
after(0,XS) XS (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 = after(s(N),cons(X))
after(N,after(s(N),cons(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0] and C = after(N,)
