Certification Problem

Input (COPS 700)

We consider the TRS containing the following rules:

a a (1)
f(h(a,a)) f(b) (2)
c b (3)

The underlying signature is as follows:

{a/0, f/1, h/2, b/0, c/0}

Property / Task

Prove or disprove confluence.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ACP @ CoCo 2021)

1 Strongly closed

Confluence is proven since the TRS is strongly closed. The joins can be performed using 2 step(s).
