Certification Problem

Input (COPS 504)

We consider the TRS containing the following rules:

+(x,y) +(y,x) (1)
*(+(x,y),z) +(*(x,z),*(y,z)) (2)
*(+(y,x),z) +(*(x,z),*(y,z)) (3)

The underlying signature is as follows:

{+/2, */2}

Property / Task

Prove or disprove confluence.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ACP @ CoCo 2023)

1 Development Closed

Confluence is proven since the TRS is development closed. The joins can be performed using 1 development step(s).
