Certification Problem

Input (COPS 88)

We consider the TRS containing the following rules:

p(x) q(x) (1)
p(x) r(x) (2)
q(x) s(p(x)) (3)
r(x) s(p(x)) (4)
s(x) f(p(x)) (5)

The underlying signature is as follows:

{p/1, q/1, r/1, s/1, f/1}

Property / Task

Prove or disprove confluence.

Answer / Result

Yes.

Proof (by ACP @ CoCo 2022)

1 Strongly closed

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