YES # Compositional parallel rule labeling (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: F(H(x),y) -> G(H(x)) H(I(x)) -> I(x) F(I(x),y) -> G(I(x)) Let C be the following subset of R: (empty) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(F(H(x),y) -> G(H(x))) = 2 phi(H(I(x)) -> I(x)) = 3 phi(F(I(x),y) -> G(I(x))) = 1 psi(F(H(x),y) -> G(H(x))) = 1 psi(H(I(x)) -> I(x)) = 2 psi(F(I(x),y) -> G(I(x))) = 2 Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: (empty) Let C be the following subset of R: (empty) The parallel critical pair system PCPS(R,C) is: (empty) The TRS R is locally confluent and PCPS(R,C)/R is terminating. Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # Emptiness. The empty TRS is confluent.
