We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: { +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) -> *(x, +(y, z)) , +(+(x, y), z) -> +(x, +(y, z)) , +(*(x, y), +(*(x, z), u())) -> +(*(x, +(y, z)), u())} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^1)) Proof: We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: { +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) -> *(x, +(y, z)) , +(+(x, y), z) -> +(x, +(y, z)) , +(*(x, y), +(*(x, z), u())) -> +(*(x, +(y, z)), u())} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^1)) Proof: The weightgap principle applies, where following rules are oriented strictly: TRS Component: { +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) -> *(x, +(y, z)) , +(*(x, y), +(*(x, z), u())) -> +(*(x, +(y, z)), u())} Interpretation of nonconstant growth: ------------------------------------- The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(+) = {1, 2}, Uargs(*) = {2} We have the following EDA-non-satisfying and IDA(1)-non-satisfying matrix interpretation: Interpretation Functions: +(x1, x2) = [1 0] x1 + [1 0] x2 + [0] [0 0] [0 0] [0] *(x1, x2) = [0 0] x1 + [1 0] x2 + [2] [0 0] [0 0] [0] u() = [2] [0] The strictly oriented rules are moved into the weak component. We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: {+(+(x, y), z) -> +(x, +(y, z))} Weak Trs: { +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) -> *(x, +(y, z)) , +(*(x, y), +(*(x, z), u())) -> +(*(x, +(y, z)), u())} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^1)) Proof: We consider the following Problem: Strict Trs: {+(+(x, y), z) -> +(x, +(y, z))} Weak Trs: { +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) -> *(x, +(y, z)) , +(*(x, y), +(*(x, z), u())) -> +(*(x, +(y, z)), u())} StartTerms: basic terms Strategy: innermost Certificate: YES(?,O(n^1)) Proof: The problem is match-bounded by 0. The enriched problem is compatible with the following automaton: { +_0(2, 2) -> 1 , *_0(2, 1) -> 1 , *_0(2, 2) -> 2 , u_0() -> 2} Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
