(13) 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 = Q_IN_ evaluates to t =Q_IN_

Thus s starts an infinite chain as s semiunifies with t with the following substitutions:
  • Semiunifier: [ ]
  • Matcher: [ ]



Rewriting sequence

Q_IN_ → R_IN_
with rule Q_IN_ → R_IN_ at position [] and matcher [ ]

R_IN_ → Q_IN_
with rule R_IN_ → Q_IN_

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.
