Abstract

In this paper we use the decreasing diagrams technique to show that a left-linear term rewrite system ${\mathcal{R}}$ is confluent if all its critical pairs are joinable and the critical pair steps are relatively terminating with respect to ${\mathcal{R}}$. We further show how to encode the rule-labeling heuristic for decreasing diagrams as a satisfiability problem. Experimental data for both methods are presented.
