YES # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022, Section 8 in LMCS 2023) Consider the left-linear TRS R: F(H(x),y) -> F(H(x),I(I(y))) F(x,G(y)) -> F(I(x),G(y)) I(x) -> x Let C be the following subset of R: I(x) -> x F(H(x),y) -> F(H(x),I(I(y))) 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: I(x) -> x F(H(x),y) -> F(H(x),I(I(y))) Let C be the following subset of R: I(x) -> x The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C.
