Found a loop by semiunifying a rule from P directly.

The TRS P consists of the following rules:

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

The DP semiunifies directly so there is only one rewrite step from F(X) to F(b).




As all Q-normal forms are R-normal forms we are in the innermost case. Hence, by the usable rules processor [15] we can delete all non-usable rules [17] from R.
