Term Rewriting System R:
[x]
a(b(a(b(x)))) -> b(a(b(a(a(b(x))))))

Termination of R to be shown.

Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(b(a(a(b(x)))))
A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(a(b(x)))

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Non Termination


Dependency Pairs:

A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(a(b(x)))
A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(b(a(a(b(x)))))


Rule:


a(b(a(b(x)))) -> b(a(b(a(a(b(x))))))





Found an infinite P-chain over R:
P =

A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(a(b(x)))
A(b(a(b(x)))) -> A(b(a(a(b(x)))))

R =

a(b(a(b(x)))) -> b(a(b(a(a(b(x))))))

s = A(b(a(a(b(a(b(x'')))))))
evaluates to t =A(b(a(a(b(a(b(a(a(b(x''))))))))))

Thus, s starts an infinite chain as s matches t.

Non-Termination of R could be shown.
