NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by ACP

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = h(h(h(b,b),f(f(a))),f(f(f(a))))
1.1.2 h(h(h(b,h(h(f(a),c),f(a))),f(f(a))),f(f(f(a))))
= t1

t0 = h(h(h(b,b),f(f(a))),f(f(f(a))))
ε a
= t1

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