Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex14_Luc06_FR)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

h(X) g(X,X) (1)
g(a,X) f(b,activate(X)) (2)
f(X,X) h(a) (3)
a b (4)
activate(X) X (5)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = h(a)
g(a,a)
f(b,activate(a))
f(b,a)
f(b,b)
h(a)
= t5
where t5 = t0
