(0) Obligation:

The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(1, n^1).


The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(b(x)) → b(b(a(x)))

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) CpxTrsMatchBoundsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

A linear upper bound on the runtime complexity of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [MATCHBOUNDS1,MATCHBOUNDS2] of 1.
The certificate found is represented by the following graph.
Start state: 1
Accept states: [2]
Transitions:
1→2[a_1|0]
1→3[b_1|1]
2→2[b_1|0]
3→4[b_1|1]
4→2[a_1|1]
4→3[b_1|1]

(2) BOUNDS(1, n^1)

(3) CpxTrsToCdtProof (BOTH BOUNDS(ID, ID) transformation)

Converted Cpx (relative) TRS to CDT

(5) CdtUsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following rules are not usable and were removed:

(7) CdtRuleRemovalProof (UPPER BOUND(ADD(n^1)) transformation)

Found a reduction pair which oriented the following tuples strictly. Hence they can be removed from S.

A(b(z0)) → c(A(z0))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

A(b(z0)) → c(A(z0))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(A(x1)) = x1   
POL(b(x1)) = [1] + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = x1
