YES # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022) Consider the left-linear TRS R: W(W(x)) -> W(x) B(I(x)) -> W(x) W(B(x)) -> B(x) F(H(x),y) -> F(H(x),G(y)) F(x,I(y)) -> F(G(x),I(y)) G(x) -> x Let C be the following subset of R: W(W(x)) -> W(x) B(I(x)) -> W(x) G(x) -> x The TRS R is left-linear and all parallel critical pairs are joinable by C. Therefore, the confluence of R follows from that of C. # parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022) Consider the left-linear TRS R: W(W(x)) -> W(x) B(I(x)) -> W(x) G(x) -> x 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 follows from that of C. # emptiness The empty TRS is confluent.
