(12) NonTerminationLoopProof (COMPLETE transformation)

We used the non-termination processor [FROCOS05] to show that the DP problem is infinite.
Found a loop by narrowing to the left:

s = C(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(a(x'))))))))))) evaluates to t =C(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))))))

Thus s starts an infinite chain as s semiunifies with t with the following substitutions:
  • Matcher: [x' / b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x'))))))))))))]
  • Semiunifier: [ ]




Rewriting sequence

C(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(a(x')))))))))))C(c(a(a(b(c(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))
with rule c(a(a(b(a(x''))))) → a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(x''))))))))) at position [0,0,0,0,0,0] and matcher [x'' / x']

C(c(a(a(b(c(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))C(c(a(a(b(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))
with rule c(a(a(b(a(x))))) → a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(x))))))))) at position [0,0,0,0,0] and matcher [x / c(c(a(a(b(x')))))]

C(c(a(a(b(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))C(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))))))
with rule c(a(a(b(a(x''))))) → a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(x''))))))))) at position [0] and matcher [x'' / a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))]

C(a(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))))))C(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(a(b(a(c(c(a(a(b(c(c(a(a(b(x')))))))))))))))))))))))
with rule C(a(a(b(a(x))))) → C(c(a(a(b(x)))))

Now applying the matcher to the start term leads to a term which is equal to the last term in the rewriting sequence


All these steps are and every following step will be a correct step w.r.t to Q.

Q is empty.
We have to consider all minimal (P,Q,R)-chains.

(35) UsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We can use the usable rules and reduction pair processor [LPAR04] with the Ce-compatible extension of the polynomial order that maps every function symbol to the sum of its arguments. Then, we can delete all non-usable rules [FROCOS05] from R.
