NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by ACP

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b f(h(f(f(b)),c))
h(h(c,c),b) c
h(f(a),b) b

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.

t0 = h(f(a),h(f(a),b))
2 h(f(a),b)
2 h(f(a),f(h(f(f(b)),c)))
= t2

t0 = h(f(a),h(f(a),b))
2 h(f(a),b)
ε b
= t2

The two resulting terms cannot be joined for the following reason:
