a(a(a(x))) → b(a(b(x)))

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

(8) QDPOrderProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We use the reduction pair processor [LPAR04,JAR06].


The following pairs can be oriented strictly and are deleted.


B(a(b(x))) → B(a(x))
B(a(b(x))) → A(x)
A(a(a(x))) → A(b(x))
A(a(a(x))) → B(x)
The remaining pairs can at least be oriented weakly.
Used ordering: Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(A(x1)) = x1   
POL(B(x1)) = x1   
POL(a(x1)) = 1 + x1   
POL(b(x1)) = 1 + x1   

The following usable rules [FROCOS05] with respect to the argument filtering of the ordering [JAR06] were oriented:

a(a(a(x))) → b(a(b(x)))
b(a(b(x))) → a(b(a(x)))

b(a(b(x))) → a(b(a(x)))
a(a(a(x))) → b(a(b(x)))

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

(10) 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 = A(b(a(b(a(a(x)))))) evaluates to t =A(b(a(b(a(a(x))))))

Thus s starts an infinite chain as s semiunifies with t with the following substitutions:
  • Matcher: [ ]
  • Semiunifier: [ ]




Rewriting sequence

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

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

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

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

A(a(a(b(a(a(x))))))B(a(b(b(a(a(x))))))
with rule A(a(a(x'))) → B(a(b(x'))) at position [] and matcher [x' / b(a(a(x)))]

B(a(b(b(a(a(x))))))A(b(a(b(a(a(x))))))
with rule B(a(b(x))) → A(b(a(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.
