NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by ACP

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

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

t0 = f(f(h(a,a)))
ε f(f(f(a)))
= t1

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