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