We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { f(f(x)) -> f(x) , f(s(x)) -> f(x) , g(s(0())) -> g(f(s(0()))) } Obligation: runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(n^1)) The problem is match-bounded by 2. The enriched problem is compatible with the following automaton. { f_0(2) -> 1 , f_1(2) -> 1 , f_1(4) -> 3 , f_2(5) -> 3 , s_0(2) -> 2 , s_1(5) -> 4 , g_0(2) -> 1 , g_1(3) -> 1 , 0_0() -> 2 , 0_1() -> 5 } Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
