We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict Trs: { f(X, X) -> c(X) , f(X, c(X)) -> f(s(X), X) , f(s(X), X) -> f(X, a(X)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) We add the following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } and mark the set of starting terms. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict DPs: { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } Strict Trs: { f(X, X) -> c(X) , f(X, c(X)) -> f(s(X), X) , f(s(X), X) -> f(X, a(X)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) No rule is usable, rules are removed from the input problem. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict DPs: { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) The weightgap principle applies (using the following constant growth matrix-interpretation) The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(c_2) = {1} TcT has computed the following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [s](x1) = [0] [0] [a](x1) = [0] [0] [c](x1) = [0] [0] [f^#](x1, x2) = [1] [0] [c_1] = [0] [0] [c_2](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [0] [0 1] [0] [c_3](x1) = [0] [0] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [f^#(X, X)] = [1] [0] > [0] [0] = [c_1()] [f^#(X, c(X))] = [1] [0] >= [1] [0] = [c_2(f^#(s(X), X))] [f^#(s(X), X)] = [1] [0] > [0] [0] = [c_3(f^#(X, a(X)))] Further, it can be verified that all rules not oriented are covered by the weightgap condition. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict DPs: { f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) } Weak DPs: { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) We estimate the number of application of {1} by applications of Pre({1}) = {}. Here rules are labeled as follows: DPs: { 1: f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , 2: f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , 3: f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak DPs: { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) The following weak DPs constitute a sub-graph of the DG that is closed under successors. The DPs are removed. { f^#(X, X) -> c_1() , f^#(X, c(X)) -> c_2(f^#(s(X), X)) , f^#(s(X), X) -> c_3(f^#(X, a(X))) } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Rules: Empty Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Empty rules are trivially bounded Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(1))
