NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

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

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t0 = h(f(f(c)),h(c,h(c,h(h(f(b),f(f(f(f(b))))),b))))
1.1 h(f(f(f(a))),h(c,h(c,h(h(f(b),f(f(f(f(b))))),b))))
1.1.1.1 h(f(f(f(f(f(b))))),h(c,h(c,h(h(f(b),f(f(f(f(b))))),b))))
= t2

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

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