We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict Trs: { f(X) -> n__f(X) , f(f(a())) -> c(n__f(g(f(a())))) , activate(X) -> X , activate(n__f(X)) -> f(X) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Arguments of following rules are not normal-forms: { f(f(a())) -> c(n__f(g(f(a())))) } All above mentioned rules can be savely removed. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Strict Trs: { f(X) -> n__f(X) , activate(X) -> X , activate(n__f(X)) -> f(X) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) We add the following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { f^#(X) -> c_1() , activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(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) -> c_1() , activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(X)) } Strict Trs: { f(X) -> n__f(X) , activate(X) -> X , activate(n__f(X)) -> f(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) -> c_1() , activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(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_3) = {1} TcT has computed the following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [n__f](x1) = [1] [1] [f^#](x1) = [2] [0] [c_1] = [0] [0] [activate^#](x1) = [1 1] x1 + [0] [1 1] [1] [c_2] = [0] [0] [c_3](x1) = [1 0] x1 + [2] [0 1] [0] The order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [f^#(X)] = [2] [0] > [0] [0] = [c_1()] [activate^#(X)] = [1 1] X + [0] [1 1] [1] >= [0] [0] = [c_2()] [activate^#(n__f(X))] = [2] [3] ? [4] [0] = [c_3(f^#(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: { activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(X)) } Weak DPs: { f^#(X) -> c_1() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) We estimate the number of application of {1,2} by applications of Pre({1,2}) = {}. Here rules are labeled as follows: DPs: { 1: activate^#(X) -> c_2() , 2: activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(X)) , 3: f^#(X) -> c_1() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak DPs: { f^#(X) -> c_1() , activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(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) -> c_1() , activate^#(X) -> c_2() , activate^#(n__f(X)) -> c_3(f^#(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))
