Non-Confluence Proof
Non-Confluence Proof
by Hakusan
Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
|
b(a(a(x))) |
→ |
a(x) |
|
a(a(a(x))) |
→ |
b(b(b(x))) |
|
b(b(x)) |
→ |
a(b(a(x))) |
Proof
1 Non-Joinable Fork
The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.
| t0
|
= |
b(b(b(x1))) |
|
→1
|
b(a(b(a(x1)))) |
|
= |
t1
|
| t0
|
= |
b(b(b(x1))) |
|
→ε
|
a(b(a(b(x1)))) |
|
= |
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.
