let R be the TRS under consideration rev(cons(_1,_2)) -> append(_2,rev(cons(_1,nil))) is in elim_R(R) let l be the left-hand side and r be the right-hand side of this rule let p = 1 let theta = {_2/nil} let theta' = {} we have r|p = rev(cons(_1,nil)) and theta'(theta(l)) = theta(r|p) so, theta(l) = rev(cons(_1,nil)) is non-terminating w.r.t. R Termination disproved by the forward process proof stopped at iteration i=0, depth k=0 1 rule(s) generated
