(15) NonTerminationProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the non-termination processor [FROCOS05] to show that the DP problem is infinite.
Found a loop by semiunifying a rule from P directly.

s = G(f(f(x0, x1), y1)) evaluates to t =G(f(f(g(g(x0)), g(g(x1))), f(g(g(x0)), g(g(x1)))))

Thus s starts an infinite chain as s semiunifies with t with the following substitutions:
  • Matcher: [x0 / g(g(x0)), x1 / g(g(x1)), y1 / f(g(g(x0)), g(g(x1)))]
  • Semiunifier: [ ]




Rewriting sequence

The DP semiunifies directly so there is only one rewrite step from G(f(f(x0, x1), y1)) to G(f(f(g(g(x0)), g(g(x1))), f(g(g(x0)), g(g(x1))))).
