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

0 QTRS
↳1 NonTerminationProof (⇔, 606 ms)
↳2 NO

(0) Obligation:

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

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

Q is empty.

(1) NonTerminationProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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