YES(?, a + 3)

Initial complexity problem:
1:	T:
		(?, 1)    f300(a, b) -> f1(a, c) [ 0 >= a + 1 ]
		(?, 1)    f300(a, b) -> f300(a - 1, b) [ a >= 0 ]
		(1, 1)    f2(a, b) -> f300(a, b)
	start location:	f2
	leaf cost:	0

Repeatedly removing leaves of the complexity graph in problem 1 produces the following problem:
2:	T:
		(?, 1)    f300(a, b) -> f300(a - 1, b) [ a >= 0 ]
		(1, 1)    f2(a, b) -> f300(a, b)
	start location:	f2
	leaf cost:	1

A polynomial rank function with
	Pol(f300) = V_1 + 1
	Pol(f2) = V_1 + 1
orients all transitions weakly and the transition
	f300(a, b) -> f300(a - 1, b) [ a >= 0 ]
strictly and produces the following problem:
3:	T:
		(a + 1, 1)    f300(a, b) -> f300(a - 1, b) [ a >= 0 ]
		(1, 1)        f2(a, b) -> f300(a, b)
	start location:	f2
	leaf cost:	1
