NO Non-Confluence Proof

Non-Confluence Proof

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(c(c(c_1))))))
ε c(a(c(a(a(c(c(c(c_1))))))))
1.1.1.1.1 c(a(c(a(a(c(c_1))))))
= t2

t0 = b(b(c(c(c(c(c_1))))))
1.1 b(b(c(c(c_1))))
1.1 b(b(c_1))
= t2

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