YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) Let C be the following subset of R: +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(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: +(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y)) +(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y)) +(x,y) -> +(y,x) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 3 phi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 4 phi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 1 psi(+(s(x),y) -> s(+(x,y))) = 2 psi(+(x,s(y)) -> s(+(x,y))) = 2 psi(+(x,y) -> +(y,x)) = 2
