T is strongly non-overlapping on S and S is strongly non-overlapping on T We get the following critical pairs, which are also S-critical pairs: b(a(a(c(a(x29))))) = a(c(a(a(b(x29))))) all these critical pairs are joinable with S union T. Please install theorem prover 'Prover9' and 'Mace4' for handling more TRSs. All S-critical pairs are joinable. We have to check confluence of S.
