NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = f(f(f(f(a))))
1.1.1 f(f(f(c)))
1.1.1 f(f(f(h(f(f(c)),f(f(h(f(f(a)),h(h(b,h(c,c)),f(c)))))))))
1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1 f(f(f(h(f(f(c)),f(f(h(f(f(c)),h(h(b,h(c,c)),f(c)))))))))
= t3

t0 = f(f(f(f(a))))
ε a
= t1

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