NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t₀ = h(h(a,f(f(f(a)))),a)

→_1.1 h(h(h(h(f(h(b,c)),f(h(a,a))),a),f(f(f(a)))),a)

= t₁

t₀ = h(h(a,f(f(f(a)))),a)

→_ε h(h(f(h(c,h(c,f(b)))),b),c)

= t₁

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

When applying the cap-function on both terms (where variables may be treated like constants) then the resulting terms do not unify.
