Certification Problem

Input (COPS 330)

The rewrite relation of the following conditional TRS is considered.

pin(x) pout(g(x))
pin(x) pout(f(y)) | pin(x) ≈ pout(g(y))

Property / Task

Prove or disprove confluence.

Answer / Result

pin(__N4) * pout(f(__N4))
The two resulting terms cannot be joined for the following reason:
