Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_CSR_05/Ex6_Luc98)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

first(0,X) nil (1)
first(s(X),cons(Y,Z)) cons(Y,first(X,Z)) (2)
from(X) cons(X,from(s(X))) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ 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,)
