Certification Problem

Input (COPS 1655)

We consider the TRS containing the following rules:

f(x1,g(x2)) f(x1,g(x1)) (1)
f(g(y1),y2) f(g(y1),g(y1)) (2)
g(a) g(b) (3)
b a (4)

The underlying signature is as follows:

{f/2, g/1, a/0, b/0}

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).
