YES # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022) Consider the left-linear TRS R: or(true(),true()) -> true() or(x,y) -> or(y,x) Let C be the following subset of R: or(true(),true()) -> true() The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C. Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022) Consider the left-linear TRS R: or(true(),true()) -> true() Let C be the following subset of R: (empty) The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C. Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # emptiness The empty TRS is confluent.
