NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

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

t0 = f(f(h(a,h(b,b))))
ε a
ε h(f(c),h(a,f(c)))
2.1 h(f(c),h(h(f(c),h(a,f(c))),f(c)))
= t3

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