Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex4_Zan97_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

sel(s(X),cons(Y)) sel(X,Z) (1)
f(X) cons(X) (2)
g(0) s(0) (3)
g(s(X)) s(s(g(X))) (4)
sel(0,cons(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 = sel(s(X),cons(Y))
sel(X,sel(s(X),cons(Y)))
= t1
where t1 = C[t0σ] and σ = {Z/sel(s(X),cons(Y))} and C = sel(X,)
