  • LT(s(x), s(y)) → LT(x, y)
    The graph contains the following edges 1 > 1, 2 > 2

(9) NonLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

By Theorem 8 [NONLOOP] we deduce infiniteness of the QDP.
We apply the theorem with m = 1, b = 1,
σ' = [ ], and μ' = [ ] on the rule
COND(tt, zr0, zr1)[zr0 / s(zr0), zr1 / s(zr1)]n[zr0 / 0] → COND(tt, s(zr0), s(zr1))[zr0 / s(zr0), zr1 / s(zr1)]n[zr0 / 0]
This rule is correct for the QDP as the following derivation shows:
