YES # Compositional parallel critical pair system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022). Consider the left-linear TRS R: or(x,T()) -> T() or(x,F()) -> x or(T(),x) -> T() or(F(),x) -> x or(or(x,y),z) -> or(x,or(y,z)) or(x,y) -> or(y,x) Let C be the following subset of R: or(x,T()) -> T() or(x,F()) -> x or(T(),x) -> T() or(F(),x) -> x or(or(x,y),z) -> or(x,or(y,z)) or(x,y) -> or(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: or(x,T()) -> T() or(x,F()) -> x or(T(),x) -> T() or(F(),x) -> x or(or(x,y),z) -> or(x,or(y,z)) or(x,y) -> or(y,x) All parallel critical peaks (except C's) are decreasing wrt rule labeling: phi(or(x,T()) -> T()) = 5 phi(or(x,F()) -> x) = 7 phi(or(T(),x) -> T()) = 6 phi(or(F(),x) -> x) = 6 phi(or(or(x,y),z) -> or(x,or(y,z))) = 10 phi(or(x,y) -> or(y,x)) = 10 psi(or(x,T()) -> T()) = 7 psi(or(x,F()) -> x) = 7 psi(or(T(),x) -> T()) = 11 psi(or(F(),x) -> x) = 9 psi(or(or(x,y),z) -> or(x,or(y,z))) = 8 psi(or(x,y) -> or(y,x)) = 8
