(7) CdtPolyRedPairProof (UPPER BOUND (ADD(O(n^1))) transformation)

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

MARK(f(z0, z1, z2)) → c4(A__F(z0, mark(z1), z2), MARK(z1))
A__F(a, z0, z0) → c(A__F(z0, a__b, b))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:

a__ba
a__bb
mark(f(z0, z1, z2)) → a__f(z0, mark(z1), z2)
mark(b) → a__b
mark(a) → a
a__f(a, z0, z0) → a__f(z0, a__b, b)
a__f(z0, z1, z2) → f(z0, z1, z2)
And the Tuples:

MARK(f(z0, z1, z2)) → c4(A__F(z0, mark(z1), z2), MARK(z1))
A__F(a, z0, z0) → c(A__F(z0, a__b, b))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(A__F(x1, x2, x3)) = x1 + x3   
POL(MARK(x1)) = [2]x1   
POL(a) = [2]   
POL(a__b) = [4]   
POL(a__f(x1, x2, x3)) = [4] + [4]x1 + x2 + [4]x3   
POL(b) = [1]   
POL(c(x1)) = x1   
POL(c4(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2   
POL(f(x1, x2, x3)) = [3] + x1 + x2 + x3   
POL(mark(x1)) = [4] + [4]x1
