Certification Problem

Input (COPS 1058)

We consider two TRSs R and S where R contains the rules

a h(g(b)) (1)
a h(c) (2)
b g(b) (3)
h(g(x)) g(h(x)) (4)
g(x) h(x) (5)

and S contains the following rules:

a b (6)
a c (7)
a e (8)
b d (9)
c a (10)
d a (11)
d e (12)
g(x) h(a) (13)
h(x) e (14)

The underlying signature is as follows:

{a/0, b/0, c/0, d/0, e/0, g/1, h/1}

Property / Task

Prove or disprove commutation.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ACP @ CoCo 2023)

1 Non-Joinable Fork

The systems are not commuting due to the following forking derivations.
t0 = a
S c
= s1
and
t0 = a
R h(g(b))
= t1
There is no possibility to join s1R*·←S* t1 for the following reason:
