We used the non-termination processor [17] to show that the DP problem is infinite.
Found a loop by narrowing to the left:

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

A__F(X, g(X), Y) → A__F(Y, Y, Y)

The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a__f(X, g(X), Y) → a__f(Y, Y, Y)
a__g(b) → c
a__bc
mark(f(X1, X2, X3)) → a__f(X1, X2, X3)
mark(g(X)) → a__g(mark(X))
mark(b) → a__b
mark(c) → c
a__f(X1, X2, X3) → f(X1, X2, X3)
a__g(X) → g(X)
a__bb


s = A__F(a__g(a__b), a__g(a__b), Y) evaluates to t =A__F(Y, Y, Y)

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




Rewriting sequence

A__F(a__g(a__b), a__g(a__b), a__g(a__b))A__F(a__g(a__b), a__g(c), a__g(a__b))
with rule a__bc at position [1,0] and matcher [ ]

A__F(a__g(a__b), a__g(c), a__g(a__b))A__F(a__g(a__b), g(c), a__g(a__b))
with rule a__g(X) → g(X) at position [1] and matcher [X / c]

A__F(a__g(a__b), g(c), a__g(a__b))A__F(a__g(b), g(c), a__g(a__b))
with rule a__bb at position [0,0] and matcher [ ]

A__F(a__g(b), g(c), a__g(a__b))A__F(c, g(c), a__g(a__b))
with rule a__g(b) → c at position [0] and matcher [ ]

A__F(c, g(c), a__g(a__b))A__F(a__g(a__b), a__g(a__b), a__g(a__b))
with rule A__F(X, g(X), Y) → A__F(Y, Y, Y)

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