YES # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022, Section 8 in LMCS 2023) Consider the left-linear TRS R: F(G(x,A(),B())) -> x G(F(H(C(),D())),x,y) -> H(K1(x),K2(y)) K1(A()) -> C() K2(B()) -> D() Let C be the following subset of R: K1(A()) -> C() K2(B()) -> D() The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C. Therefore, the confluence of R is equivalent to that of C. # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022, Section 8 in LMCS 2023) Consider the left-linear TRS R: K1(A()) -> C() K2(B()) -> D() Let C be the following subset of R: K2(B()) -> D() The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C. Therefore, the confluence of R is equivalent to that of C. # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022, Section 8 in LMCS 2023) Consider the left-linear TRS R: K2(B()) -> D() 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 is equivalent to that of C. # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: (empty) Let C be the following subset of R: (empty) 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: (empty) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling:
