Certification Problem

Input (COPS 262)

The rewrite relation of the following conditional TRS is considered.

plus(0,y) y
plus(s(x),y) plus(x,s(y))
f(x,y) z | plus(x,y) ≈ plus(z,z')

Property / Task

Prove or disprove confluence.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ConCon @ CoCo 2020)

1 Non-Joinable Fork

The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.
f(s(__NN15),__NN16) * s(__NN15)
f(s(__NN15),__NN16) * __NN15
The two resulting terms cannot be joined for the following reason:
