Runtime Complexity TRS:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(x1) → x1
a(b(x1)) → b(b(a(c(a(x1)))))
c(c(b(x1))) → a(x1)

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 2.
The certificate found is represented by the following graph.
Start state: 450
Accept states: [451, 452]
Transitions:
