Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Strategy_removed_mixed_05/ex4)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(h(x)) f(i(x)) (1)
f(i(x)) a (2)
i(x) h(x) (3)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(h(x8))
f(i(x8))
f(h(x8))
= t2
where t2 = t0σ and σ = {x8/x8}
