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)) sum(0()) -> 0() sum(s(x)) -> +(s(x),sum(x)) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) 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)) sum(0()) -> 0() sum(s(x)) -> +(s(x),sum(x)) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(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,0()) -> x +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(0(),y) -> y +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) sum(0()) -> 0() sum(s(x)) -> +(s(x),sum(x)) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(+(x,0()) -> x) = 4 phi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 3 phi(+(0(),y) -> y) = 4 phi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 3 phi(sum(0()) -> 0()) = 1 phi(sum(s(x)) -> +(s(x),sum(x))) = 1 phi(+(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 6 phi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 6 psi(+(x,0()) -> x) = 2 psi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 7 psi(+(0(),y) -> y) = 1 psi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 2 psi(sum(0()) -> 0()) = 1 psi(sum(s(x)) -> +(s(x),sum(x))) = 1 psi(+(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 5 psi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 3
