YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: +(x,0()) -> x +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(0(),y) -> y +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) inc(x) -> s(x) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) inc(+(x,y)) -> +(inc(x),y) Let C be the following subset of R: +(x,0()) -> x +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(0(),y) -> y +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) inc(x) -> s(x) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) inc(+(x,y)) -> +(inc(x),y) The parallel critical pair system PCPS(R,C) is: (empty) All pairs in PCP(R) are joinable and PCPS(R,C)/R is terminating. Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # Parallel rule labeling (Zankl et al. 2015). Consider the left-linear TRS R: +(x,0()) -> x +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(0(),y) -> y +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) inc(x) -> s(x) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) inc(+(x,y)) -> +(inc(x),y) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(+(x,0()) -> x) = 8 phi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 4 phi(+(0(),y) -> y) = 8 phi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 3 phi(inc(x) -> s(x)) = 1 phi(+(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 12 phi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 7 phi(inc(+(x,y)) -> +(inc(x),y)) = 5 psi(+(x,0()) -> x) = 1 psi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 10 psi(+(0(),y) -> y) = 11 psi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 2 psi(inc(x) -> s(x)) = 1 psi(+(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 9 psi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 6 psi(inc(+(x,y)) -> +(inc(x),y)) = 13
