We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { a__f(X1, X2, X3) -> f(X1, X2, X3) , a__f(a(), X, X) -> a__f(X, a__b(), b()) , a__b() -> a() , a__b() -> b() , mark(a()) -> a() , mark(b()) -> a__b() , mark(f(X1, X2, X3)) -> a__f(X1, mark(X2), X3) } Obligation: runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) The input is overlay and right-linear. Switching to innermost rewriting. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)).

Trs: { a__f(X1, X2, X3) -> f(X1, X2, X3) , mark(a()) -> a() , mark(b()) -> a__b() , mark(f(X1, X2, X3)) -> a__f(X1, mark(X2), X3) } The induced complexity on above rules (modulo remaining rules) is YES(?,O(n^1)) . These rules are moved into the corresponding weak component(s). Sub-proof: ---------- The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(a__f) = {2} TcT has computed the following constructor-based matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA). [a__f](x1, x2, x3) = [1] x2 + [3] x3 + [5] [a] = [0] [a__b] = [0] [b] = [0] [mark](x1) = [3] x1 + [1] [f](x1, x2, x3) = [1] x2 + [1] x3 + [4] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [a__f(X1, X2, X3)] = [1] X2 + [3] X3 + [5] > [1] X2 + [1] X3 + [4] = [f(X1, X2, X3)] [a__f(a(), X, X)] = [4] X + [5] >= [5] = [a__f(X, a__b(), b())] [a__b()] = [0] >= [0] = [a()] [a__b()] = [0] >= [0] = [b()] [mark(a())] = [1] > [0] = [a()] [mark(b())] = [1] > [0] = [a__b()] [mark(f(X1, X2, X3))] = [3] X2 + [3] X3 + [13] > [3] X2 + [3] X3 + [6] = [a__f(X1, mark(X2), X3)] We return to the main proof.
