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:

f(x, x) → f(i(x), g(g(x)))
f(x, y) → x

(1) QTRSRRRProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Used ordering:
Polynomial interpretation [POLO]:

POL(a) = 0   
POL(f(x₁, x₂)) = 1 + x₁ + x₂   
POL(g(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(i(x₁)) = x₁   

With this ordering the following rules can be removed by the rule removal processor [LPAR04] because they are oriented strictly:

f(x, y) → x
f(i(x), i(g(x))) → a

(29) NonTerminationProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

We used the non-termination processor [FROCOS05] to show that the DP problem is infinite.
Found a loop by narrowing to the left:

s = F(i(i(z0')), i(i(z0'))) evaluates to t =F(i(i(i(z0'))), i(i(i(z0'))))

Thus s starts an infinite chain as s semiunifies with t with the following substitutions:

• Matcher: [z0' / i(z0')]
• Semiunifier: [ ]

---

Rewriting sequence

F(i(i(z0')), i(i(z0'))) → F(i(i(i(z0'))), i(i(i(i(z0')))))
with rule F(i(i(z0'')), i(i(z0''))) → F(i(i(i(z0''))), i(i(i(i(z0''))))) at position [] and matcher [z0'' / z0']

F(i(i(i(z0'))), i(i(i(i(z0'))))) → F(i(i(i(z0'))), i(i(i(z0'))))
with rule F(i(i(z0)), i(i(i(z0)))) → F(i(i(z0)), i(i(z0)))

Now applying the matcher to the start term leads to a term which is equal to the last term in the rewriting sequence


All these steps are and every following step will be a correct step w.r.t to Q.
