The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

c f(n__g(n__c)) (1)
f(n__g(X)) g(activate(X)) (2)
g(X) n__g(X) (3)
c n__c (4)
activate(n__g(X)) g(X) (5)
activate(n__c) c (6)
activate(X) X (7)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = c
f(n__g(n__c))
g(activate(n__c))
g(c)
= t3
where t3 = C[t0] and C = g()
