Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex4_7_77_Bor03)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

zeros cons(0,zeros) (1)
tail(cons(X,XS)) XS (2)
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 = zeros
cons(0,zeros)
= t1
where t1 = C[t0] and C = cons(0,)
