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__f(f(a)) → a__f(g(f(a)))
mark(f(X)) → a__f(mark(X))
mark(a) → a
mark(g(X)) → g(X)
a__f(X) → f(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.
