Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

b(w(x)) w(w(w(b(x))))
w(b(x)) b(x)
b(b(x)) w(w(w(w(x))))
w(w(x)) w(x)

Proof

1 Compositional Parallel Critical Pair Systems

All parallel critical pairs of the TRS R are joinable by R. This can be seen as follows: The parallel critical pairs can be joined as follows. Here, ↔ is always chosen as an appropriate rewrite relation which is automatically inferred by the certifier.
The TRS C is chosen as:

There are no rules.

Consequently, PCPS(R,C) is included in the following TRS P where steps are used to show that certain pairs are C-convertible.
b(w(b(x1_1))) b(b(x1_1))
b(w(b(x1_1))) w(w(w(b(b(x1_1)))))
b(w(w(x1_1))) b(w(x1_1))
b(w(w(x1_1))) w(w(w(b(w(x1_1)))))
w(b(w(x1_1))) w(w(w(w(b(x1_1)))))
w(b(w(x1_1))) b(w(x1_1))
w(b(b(x1_1))) w(w(w(w(w(x1_1)))))
w(b(b(x1_1))) b(b(x1_1))
b(b(w(x1_1))) b(w(w(w(b(x1_1)))))
b(b(w(x1_1))) w(w(w(w(w(x1_1)))))
b(b(b(x1_1))) b(w(w(w(w(x1_1)))))
b(b(b(x1_1))) w(w(w(w(b(x1_1)))))

Relative termination of P / R is proven as follows.

1.1 Rule Removal

Using the recursive path order with the following precedence and status
prec(w) = 0 stat(w) = lex
prec(b) = 1 stat(b) = lex
all rules of R could be removed. Moreover, all rules of S could be removed.

1.1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS R. Hence, R/S is relative terminating.


Confluence of C is proven as follows.

1.2 (Weakly) Orthogonal

Confluence is proven since the TRS is (weakly) orthogonal.
