Found a loop by narrowing to the left:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

F(h(x)) → F(i(x))

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

i(x) → h(x)


s = F(i(x')) evaluates to t =F(i(x'))

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




Rewriting sequence

F(i(x'))F(h(x'))
with rule i(x'') → h(x'') at position [0] and matcher [x'' / x']

F(h(x'))F(i(x'))
with rule F(h(x)) → F(i(x))

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.
