Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Waldmann_06/jwno4)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(h(x),y) h(f(y,f(x,h(a)))) (1)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = f(h(h(x758)),h(h(x986)))
h(f(h(h(x986)),f(h(x758),h(a))))
h(h(f(f(h(x758),h(a)),f(h(x986),h(a)))))
h(h(f(h(f(h(a),f(x758,h(a)))),f(h(x986),h(a)))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(x758,h(a)),f(a,h(a))))),f(h(x986),h(a)))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(x758,h(a)),f(a,h(a))))),h(f(h(a),f(x986,h(a)))))))
h(h(f(h(h(f(f(x758,h(a)),f(a,h(a))))),h(h(f(f(x986,h(a)),f(a,h(a))))))))
= t6
where t6 = C[t0σ] and σ = {x986/f(f(x986,h(a)),f(a,h(a))), x758/f(f(x758,h(a)),f(a,h(a)))} and C = h(h())
