Non-Confluence Proof

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = h(b,h(f(a),a))
2.1.1 h(b,h(f(a),a))
2.2 h(b,h(f(a),h(a,b)))
2.2.2 h(b,h(f(a),h(a,h(b,f(f(b))))))
= t3

t0 = h(b,h(f(a),a))
ε a
ε h(a,b)
2 h(a,h(b,f(f(b))))
= t3

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