Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| c | 
→ | 
a | 
| 
f(c) | 
→ | 
f(h(b,c)) | 
| a | 
→ | 
c | 
| c | 
→ | 
h(f(c),h(b,h(h(b,c),a))) | 
| c | 
→ | 
b | 
Proof
1 Non-Joinable Fork
        The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.  
        
| t0
 | 
= | 
f(c) | 
 | 
→ε
 | 
f(h(b,c)) | 
 | 
= | 
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.
