Problem: max(x,0()) -> x max(0(),y) -> y max(s(x),s(y)) -> s(max(y,x)) max(x,y) -> max(y,x) Proof: AT confluence processor Complete TRS T' of input TRS: max(x,0()) -> x max(0(),y) -> y max(s(x),s(y)) -> s(max(y,x)) max(x,y) -> max(y,x) T' = (P union S) with TRS P:max(x,y) -> max(y,x) TRS S:max(x,0()) -> x max(0(),y) -> y max(s(x),s(y)) -> s(max(y,x)) S is left-linear and P is reversible.
