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