Classes of term rewrite systems with polynomial confluence problems

The confluence property of ground (i.e., variable-free) term rewrite systems (GTRS) is well-known to be decidable. This was proved independently in [DTHL87,DHLT90] and in [Oya87] using tree automata techniques and ground tree transducer techniques (originated from this problem), yielding EXPTIME dec...
