YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) Let C be the following subset of R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) 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,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(-(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y))) = 1 phi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 1 psi(-(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y))) = 1 psi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 1
