Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex7_BLR02)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

from(X) cons(X,from(s(X))) (1)
head(cons(X,XS)) X (2)
2nd(cons(X,XS)) head(XS) (3)
take(0,XS) nil (4)
take(s(N),cons(X,XS)) cons(X,take(N,XS)) (5)
sel(0,cons(X,XS)) X (6)
sel(s(N),cons(X,XS)) sel(N,XS) (7)
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 = from(X)
cons(X,from(s(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0σ] and σ = {X/s(X)} and C = cons(X,)
