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