The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(1, n^1).


The TRS R consists of the following rules:

a(b(x)) → b(a(x))
a(c(x)) → x

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) CpxTrsMatchBoundsProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

A linear upper bound on the runtime complexity of the TRS R could be shown with a Match Bound [MATCHBOUNDS1,MATCHBOUNDS2] of 1.
The certificate found is represented by the following graph.
Start state: 1
Accept states: [2]
Transitions:
1→2[a_1|0, b_1|1, c_1|1]
