We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(X) -> a(X) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We add the following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { f^#(f(X)) -> c_1(f^#(a(b(f(X))))) , f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) , b^#(X) -> c_3() } and mark the set of starting terms. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict DPs: { f^#(f(X)) -> c_1(f^#(a(b(f(X))))) , f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) , b^#(X) -> c_3() } Strict Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(X) -> a(X) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) The weightgap principle applies (using the following constant growth matrix-interpretation) The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(f) = {1}, Uargs(a) = {1}, Uargs(f^#) = {1}, Uargs(c_1) = {1}, Uargs(c_2) = {1} TcT has computed the following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [f](x1) = [2 2] x1 + [0] [0 0] [2] [a](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [0] [0 0] [0] [b](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [1] [0 0] [1] [g](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [1] [0 0] [2] [f^#](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [0] [0 0] [0] [c_1](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [0] [0 1] [0] [c_2](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [1] [0 1] [1] [b^#](x1) = [1] [1] [c_3] = [0] [0] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [f(f(X))] = [4 4] X + [4] [0 0] [2] > [4 4] X + [2] [0 0] [2] = [f(a(b(f(X))))] [f(a(g(X)))] = [2 0] X + [2] [0 0] [2] > [1 0] X + [1] [0 0] [1] = [b(X)] [b(X)] = [1 0] X + [1] [0 0] [1] > [1 0] X + [0] [0 0] [0] = [a(X)] [f^#(f(X))] = [2 2] X + [0] [0 0] [0] ? [2 2] X + [1] [0 0] [0] = [c_1(f^#(a(b(f(X)))))] [f^#(a(g(X)))] = [1 0] X + [1] [0 0] [0] ? [2] [2] = [c_2(b^#(X))] [b^#(X)] = [1] [1] > [0] [0] = [c_3()] 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^#(f(X)) -> c_1(f^#(a(b(f(X))))) , f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) } Weak DPs: { b^#(X) -> c_3() } Weak Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(X) -> a(X) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Consider the dependency graph: 1: f^#(f(X)) -> c_1(f^#(a(b(f(X))))) -->_1 f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) :2 2: f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) -->_1 b^#(X) -> c_3() :3 3: b^#(X) -> c_3() Only the nodes {2,3} are reachable from nodes {2,3} that start derivation from marked basic terms. The nodes not reachable are removed from the problem. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict DPs: { f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) } Weak DPs: { b^#(X) -> c_3() } Weak Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(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^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) , 2: b^#(X) -> c_3() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak DPs: { f^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) , b^#(X) -> c_3() } Weak Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(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^#(a(g(X))) -> c_2(b^#(X)) , b^#(X) -> c_3() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(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)). Rules: Empty Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Empty rules are trivially bounded Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(n^1))
