YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) -(-(x)) -> x +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) Let C be the following subset of R: -(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y)) +(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) The parallel critical pair system PCPS(R,C) is: -(-(+(x1_1,x1_2))) -> -(+(-(x1_1),-(x1_2))) -(-(+(x1_1,x1_2))) -> +(x1_1,x1_2) 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),z) -> +(x,+(y,z)) +(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),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 3 phi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 4 psi(-(+(x,y)) -> +(-(x),-(y))) = 2 psi(+(+(x,y),z) -> +(x,+(y,z))) = 6 psi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 5
