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

a(a(x1)) → a(b(c(c(x1))))
c(a(x1)) → x1
c(b(x1)) → a(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 3.
The certificate found is represented by the following graph.
Start state: 195
Accept states: [196, 197]
