We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^2)). Strict Trs: { fac(s(x)) -> *(fac(p(s(x))), s(x)) , p(s(s(x))) -> s(p(s(x))) , p(s(0())) -> 0() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^2)) The weightgap principle applies (using the following nonconstant growth matrix-interpretation) The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(fac) = {1}, Uargs(s) = {1}, Uargs(*) = {1} TcT has computed the following matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA) and not(IDA(1)). [fac](x1) = [1] x1 + [0] [s](x1) = [1] x1 + [0] [*](x1, x2) = [1] x1 + [0] [p](x1) = [1] x1 + [1] [0] = [5] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [fac(s(x))] = [1] x + [0] ? [1] x + [1] = [*(fac(p(s(x))), s(x))] [p(s(s(x)))] = [1] x + [1] >= [1] x + [1] = [s(p(s(x)))] [p(s(0()))] = [6] > [5] = [0()] Further, it can be verified that all rules not oriented are covered by the weightgap condition.

Strict Trs: { p(s(s(x))) -> s(p(s(x))) } Weak Trs: { fac(s(x)) -> *(fac(p(s(x))), s(x)) , p(s(0())) -> 0() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^2)) We use the processor 'matrix interpretation of dimension 3' to orient following rules strictly. Trs: { p(s(s(x))) -> s(p(s(x))) } The induced complexity on above rules (modulo remaining rules) is YES(?,O(n^2)) . These rules are moved into the corresponding weak component(s). Sub-proof: ---------- The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(fac) = {1}, Uargs(s) = {1}, Uargs(*) = {1} TcT has computed the following constructor-based matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA) and not(IDA(2)). [2 1 0] [0] [fac](x1) = [0 0 0] x1 + [1] [0 0 0] [0] [1 1 3] [3] [s](x1) = [0 1 0] x1 + [6] [0 1 0] [1] [1 2 0] [0] [*](x1, x2) = [0 0 0] x1 + [0] [0 0 1] [0] [1 0 0] [0] [p](x1) = [0 0 1] x1 + [1] [0 0 1] [1] [2] [0] = [2] [0] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [fac(s(x))] = [2 3 6] [12] [0 0 0] x + [1] [0 0 0] [0] > [2 3 6] [10] [0 0 0] x + [0] [0 0 0] [0] = [*(fac(p(s(x))), s(x))] [p(s(s(x)))] = [1 5 3] [15] [0 1 0] x + [8] [0 1 0] [8] > [1 5 3] [14] [0 1 0] x + [8] [0 1 0] [3] = [s(p(s(x)))] [p(s(0()))] = [7] [4] [4] > [2] [2] [0] = [0()] We return to the main proof. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak Trs: { fac(s(x)) -> *(fac(p(s(x))), s(x)) , p(s(s(x))) -> s(p(s(x))) , p(s(0())) -> 0() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Empty rules are trivially bounded Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(n^2))
