Termination w.r.t. Q of the given QTRS could be disproven:

(0) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x1) → x1
a(b(x1)) → b(c(a(x1)))
c(a(c(x1))) → b(a(a(x1)))

Q is empty.

(1) QTRS Reverse (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We applied the QTRS Reverse Processor [REVERSE].

(2) Obligation:

Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

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

Q is empty.

(3) NonTerminationProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the non-termination processor [OPPELT08] to show that the SRS problem is infinite.
