NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = h(h(b,h(h(c,h(a,f(h(f(c),c)))),h(h(h(h(a,c),h(f(a),b)),b),f(f(a))))),f(h(a,c)))
1.2.1.1 h(h(b,h(h(h(f(h(f(h(b,h(c,b))),f(a))),h(c,h(f(h(b,h(a,h(h(h(c,c),a),b)))),c))),h(a,f(h(f(c),c)))),h(h(h(h(a,c),h(f(a),b)),b),f(f(a))))),f(h(a,c)))
1.1 h(h(h(c,h(a,c)),h(h(h(f(h(f(h(b,h(c,b))),f(a))),h(c,h(f(h(b,h(a,h(h(h(c,c),a),b)))),c))),h(a,f(h(f(c),c)))),h(h(h(h(a,c),h(f(a),b)),b),f(f(a))))),f(h(a,c)))
1.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 h(h(h(c,h(a,c)),h(h(h(f(h(f(h(h(c,h(a,c)),h(c,b))),f(a))),h(c,h(f(h(b,h(a,h(h(h(c,c),a),b)))),c))),h(a,f(h(f(c),c)))),h(h(h(h(a,c),h(f(a),b)),b),f(f(a))))),f(h(a,c)))
= t3

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

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