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

b(a(b(x1))) → a(b(a(x1)))
b(b(a(x1))) → b(b(b(x1)))
c(a(x1)) → a(b(c(x1)))
c(b(x1)) → b(a(c(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: 1206
Accept states: [1207, 1208]
