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

Termination of R to be shown.



   TRS
Removing Redundant Rules



Removing the following rules from R which fullfill a polynomial ordering:

g(f(x)) -> x

where the Polynomial interpretation:
  POL(g(x1))=  x1  
  POL(a)=  0  
  POL(f(x1))=  1 + x1  
was used.

Not all Rules of R can be deleted, so we still have to regard a part of R.

Dependency Pair Analysis



R contains the following Dependency Pairs:

F(x) -> G(f(x))
F(x) -> F(x)

Furthermore, R contains one SCC.

Non Termination


Dependency Pair:

F(x) -> F(x)


Rules:


g(x) -> a
f(x) -> g(f(x))





Found an infinite P-chain over R:
P =

F(x) -> F(x)

R =

g(x) -> a
f(x) -> g(f(x))

s = F(x')
evaluates to t =F(x')

Thus, s starts an infinite chain.

Non-Termination of R could be shown.
