Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex4_7_77_Bor03_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

tail(cons(X)) XS (1)
zeros cons(0) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = tail(cons(X))
tail(cons(X))
= t1
where t1 = t0σ and σ = {XS/tail(cons(X))}
