Input (TPDB TRS_Outermost/Strategy_outermost_added_08/Ex7_BLR02_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

2nd(cons(X)) head(XS) (1)
sel(s(N),cons(X)) sel(N,XS) (2)
from(X) cons(X) (3)
head(cons(X)) X (4)
take(0,XS) nil (5)
take(s(N),cons(X)) cons(X) (6)
sel(0,cons(X)) X (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 = 2nd(cons(X))
head(2nd(cons(X)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0] and C = head()
