Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex5_DLMMU04_L)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

tail(cons(X)) XS (1)
pairNs cons(0) (2)
oddNs incr(pairNs) (3)
incr(cons(X)) cons(s(X)) (4)
take(0,XS) nil (5)
take(s(N),cons(X)) cons(X) (6)
zip(nil,XS) nil (7)
zip(X,nil) nil (8)
zip(cons(X),cons(Y)) cons(pair(X,Y)) (9)
repItems(nil) nil (10)
repItems(cons(X)) cons(X) (11)

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))}
