let R be the TRS under consideration f(0) -> f(s(0)) is in elim_R(R) let r0 be the right-hand side of this rule p0 = epsilon is a position in r0 we have r0|p0 = f(s(0)) f(s(0)) -> f(p(s(0))) is in R let l'0 be the left-hand side of this rule theta0 = {} is a mgu of r0|p0 and l'0 ==> f(0) -> f(p(s(0))) is in EU_R^1 let r1 be the right-hand side of this rule p1 = 0 is a position in r1 we have r1|p1 = p(s(0)) p(s(0)) -> 0 is in R let l'1 be the left-hand side of this rule theta1 = {} is a mgu of r1|p1 and l'1 ==> f(0) -> f(0) is in EU_R^2 let l be the left-hand side and r be the right-hand side of this rule let p = epsilon let theta = {} let theta' = {} we have r|p = f(0) and theta'(theta(l)) = theta(r|p) so, theta(l) = f(0) is non-terminating w.r.t.
