(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:

f(f(a)) → f(g(n__f(n__a)))
f(X) → n__f(X)
an__a
activate(n__f(X)) → f(activate(X))
activate(n__a) → a
activate(X) → 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 3.
The certificate found is represented by the following graph.
