NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by ACP

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b(b(b(x))) a(a(a(x)))
a(a(a(x))) b(a(b(x)))

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = b(b(b(a(c_1))))
ε a(a(a(a(c_1))))
1 a(b(a(b(c_1))))
= t2

t0 = b(b(b(a(c_1))))
ε a(a(a(a(c_1))))
ε b(a(b(a(c_1))))
= t2

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