We consider the TRS containing the following rules:
| f(g(x,a,b)) | → | x | (1) |
| g(f(h(c,d)),x,y) | → | h(k1(x),k2(y)) | (2) |
| k1(a) | → | c | (3) |
| k2(b) | → | d | (4) |
| f(h(k1(a),k2(b))) | → | f(h(c,d)) | (5) |
| f(h(c,k2(b))) | → | f(h(c,d)) | (6) |
| f(h(k1(a),d)) | → | f(h(c,d)) | (7) |
The underlying signature is as follows:
{f/1, g/3, a/0, b/0, h/2, c/0, d/0, k1/1, k2/1}To prove that the TRS is (non-)confluent, we show (non-)confluence of the following modified system:
| f(h(k1(a),k2(b))) | → | f(h(c,d)) | (5) |
| k2(b) | → | d | (4) |
| k1(a) | → | c | (3) |
| g(f(h(c,d)),x,y) | → | h(k1(x),k2(y)) | (2) |
| f(g(x,a,b)) | → | x | (1) |
All redundant rules that were added or removed can be simulated in 1 steps .
