# parallel critical pair closing system (Shintani and Hirokawa 2022)

Consider the left-linear TRS R:

  F(H(x),y) -> G(H(x))
  H(I(x)) -> I(x)
  F(I(x),y) -> G(I(x))

Let C be the following subset of R:

  H(I(x)) -> I(x)
  F(I(x),y) -> G(I(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, Section 8 in LMCS 2023)

Consider the left-linear TRS R:

  H(I(x)) -> I(x)
  F(I(x),y) -> G(I(x))

Let C be the following subset of R:

  H(I(x)) -> I(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:

  H(I(x)) -> I(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 is equivalent to that of C.

# emptiness

The empty TRS is confluent.
