            {app/2,plus/2,pred/1,sum/1,app#/2,plus#/2,pred#/1,sum#/1} / {0/0,cons/2,nil/0,s/1,c_1/0,c_2/1,c_3/0,c_4/0
            ,c_5/1,c_6/0,c_7/3,c_8/1,c_9/0,c_10/2}
        - Obligation:
            innermost runtime complexity wrt. defined symbols {app#,plus#,pred#,sum#} and constructors {0,cons,nil,s}

        EmptyProcessor
    + Details:
        The problem is already closed. The intended complexity is O(1).
