Term Rewriting System R: [x, y, z] *(*(x, y), z) -> *(x, *(y, z)) *(+(x, y), z) -> +(*(x, z), *(y, z)) *(x, +(y, f(z))) -> *(g(x, z), +(y, y)) Termination of R to be shown. R contains the following Dependency Pairs: *'(x, +(y, f(z))) -> *'(g(x, z), +(y, y)) *'(+(x, y), z) -> *'(x, z) *'(+(x, y), z) -> *'(y, z) *'(*(x, y), z) -> *'(x, *(y, z)) *'(*(x, y), z) -> *'(y, z) Furthermore, R contains two SCCs. SCC1: *'(x, +(y, f(z))) -> *'(g(x, z), +(y, y)) Found an infinite P-chain over R: P = *'(x, +(y, f(z))) -> *'(g(x, z), +(y, y)) R = [*(x, +(y, f(z))) -> *(g(x, z), +(y, y)), *(+(x, y), z) -> +(*(x, z), *(y, z)), *(*(x, y), z) -> *(x, *(y, z))] s = *'(x'', +(f(z'''), f(z''))) evaluates to t = *'(g(g(x'', z''), z'''), +(f(z'''), f(z'''))) Thus, s starts an infinite reduction as s matches t. Non-Termination of R could be shown. Duration: 0.540 seconds.
