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

s = B_IN_ evaluates to t =B_IN_

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




Rewriting sequence

B_IN_C_IN_
with rule B_IN_C_IN_ at position [] and matcher [ ]

C_IN_D_IN_
with rule C_IN_D_IN_ at position [] and matcher [ ]

D_IN_E_IN_
with rule D_IN_E_IN_ at position [] and matcher [ ]

E_IN_A_IN_
with rule E_IN_A_IN_ at position [] and matcher [ ]

A_IN_B_IN_
with rule A_IN_B_IN_

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