We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: { from(X) -> cons(X, n__from(s(X))) , after(0(), XS) -> XS , after(s(N), cons(X, XS)) -> after(N, activate(XS)) , from(X) -> n__from(X) , activate(n__from(X)) -> from(X) , activate(X) -> X} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^2)) Proof: We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: { from(X) -> cons(X, n__from(s(X))) , after(0(), XS) -> XS , after(s(N), cons(X, XS)) -> after(N, activate(XS)) , from(X) -> n__from(X) , activate(n__from(X)) -> from(X) , activate(X) -> X} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^2)) Proof: The weightgap principle applies, where following rules are oriented strictly: TRS Component: {from(X) -> cons(X, n__from(s(X)))} Interpretation of nonconstant growth: ------------------------------------- The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(from) = {}, Uargs(cons) = {}, Uargs(n__from) = {}, Uargs(s) = {}, Uargs(after) = {2}, Uargs(activate) = {} We have the following EDA-non-satisfying and IDA(1)-non-satisfying matrix interpretation: Interpretation Functions: from(x1) = [1 1] x1 + [2] [0 0] [2] cons(x1, x2) = [1 1] x1 + [0 0] x2 + [1] [0 0] [1 0] [1] n__from(x1) = [0 0] x1 + [0] [1 1] [0] s(x1) = [0 0] x1 + [0] [0 0] [0] after(x1, x2) = [0 0] x1 + [1 1] x2 + [1] [0 0] [0 0] [1] 0() = [0] [0] activate(x1) = [1 1] x1 + [0] [0 0] [0] The strictly oriented rules are moved into the weak component. We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: { after(0(), XS) -> XS , after(s(N), cons(X, XS)) -> after(N, activate(XS)) , from(X) -> n__from(X)
