The TRS P consists of the following rules:

G(a) → F(b)
H(X) → G(X)
F(X) → H(a)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:none


s = F(X) evaluates to t =F(b)

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



Rewriting sequence

F(X) → H(a)
with rule F(X') → H(a) at position [] and matcher [X' / X]

H(a) → G(a)
with rule H(X) → G(X) at position [] and matcher [X / a]

G(a) → F(b)
with rule G(a) → F(b)

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.
