NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

by csi

Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a(x)	→	b(x)
b(b(c(x)))	→	c(a(c(a(a(x)))))
c(c(x))	→	x

Proof

1 Non-Joinable Fork

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

t₀ = b(b(c(c(x109))))

→_1.1 b(b(x109))

= t₁

t₀ = b(b(c(c(x109))))

→_ε c(a(c(a(a(c(x109))))))

→_1.1.1.1 c(a(c(a(b(c(x109))))))

→_1.1.1 c(a(c(b(b(c(x109))))))

→₁ c(b(c(b(b(c(x109))))))

→_1.1.1 c(b(c(c(a(c(a(a(x109))))))))

→_{1.1.1.1.1.1.1} c(b(c(c(a(c(a(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1.1.1.1.1 c(b(c(c(a(c(b(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1.1.1 c(b(c(c(b(c(b(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1 c(b(b(c(b(b(x109))))))

→₁ c(c(a(c(a(a(b(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1.1.1.1 c(c(a(c(a(b(b(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1.1.1 c(c(a(c(b(b(b(b(x109))))))))

→_1.1 c(c(b(c(b(b(b(b(x109))))))))

→_ε b(c(b(b(b(b(x109))))))

= t₁₄

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.
