Input

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

f(f(x,y),z) f(x,f(y,z))
f(1,x) 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.
f(f(f(x1_1,x1_2),y2),y3) f(f(x1_1,f(x1_2,y2)),y3)
f(f(f(x1_1,x1_2),y2),y3) f(f(x1_1,x1_2),f(y2,y3))
f(f(1,y2),y3) f(y2,y3)
f(f(1,y2),y3) f(1,f(y2,y3))

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(1) = 0 stat(1) = lex
prec(f) = 0 stat(f) = 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.
