YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(-(x),-(y)) -> -(+(x,y)) Let C be the following subset of R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(-(x),-(y)) -> -(+(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,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(-(x),-(y)) -> -(+(x,y)) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(-(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y))) = 1 phi(+(-(x),-(y)) -> -(+(x,y))) = 1 psi(-(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y))) = 2 psi(+(-(x),-(y)) -> -(+(x,y))) = 2
