Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(a) b
f(a) f(c)
a d
f(d) b
f(c) b
d c

Proof

1 Compositional Parallel Critical Pair Systems

All parallel critical pairs of the TRS R are joinable by R. This can be seen as follows: The parallel critical pairs can be joined as follows. Here, ↔ is always chosen as an appropriate rewrite relation which is automatically inferred by the certifier.
The TRS C is chosen as:

There are no rules.

Consequently, PCPS(R,C) is included in the following TRS P where steps are used to show that certain pairs are C-convertible.
f(a) f(c)
f(a) b
f(a) f(d)
f(d) f(c)
f(d) b

Relative termination of P / R is proven as follows.

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the recursive path order with the following precedence and status
prec(d) = 1 stat(d) = lex
prec(b) = 0 stat(b) = lex
prec(c) = 1 stat(c) = lex
prec(f) = 0 stat(f) = lex
prec(a) = 1 stat(a) = lex
the rules
f(a) f(c)
f(a) f(d)
f(d) f(c)
remain in R. Moreover, the rules
f(a) f(c)
a d
d c
remain in S.

1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the recursive path order with the following precedence and status
prec(d) = 2 stat(d) = lex
prec(c) = 0 stat(c) = lex
prec(f) = 0 stat(f) = lex
prec(a) = 2 stat(a) = lex
the rule
f(a) f(d)
remains in R. Moreover, the rule
a d
remains in S.

1.1.1.1 Rule Removal

Using the recursive path order with the following precedence and status
prec(d) = 0 stat(d) = lex
prec(f) = 0 stat(f) = lex
prec(a) = 1 stat(a) = lex
all rules of R could be removed. Moreover, all rules of S could be removed.

1.1.1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS R. Hence, R/S is relative terminating.


Confluence of C is proven as follows.

1.2 (Weakly) Orthogonal

Confluence is proven since the TRS is (weakly) orthogonal.
