NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by ACP

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = f(f(f(f(b))))
1.1.1 f(f(f(b)))
1.1 f(f(b))
1 f(b)
1 f(c)
= t4

t0 = f(f(f(f(b))))
1.1.1 f(f(f(b)))
1.1 f(f(b))
1 f(b)
ε b
= t4

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