Input (TPDB Runtime_Complexity_Innermost_Rewriting/Rubio_04/bintrees)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

concat(leaf,Y) Y (1)
concat(cons(U,V),Y) cons(U,concat(V,Y)) (2)
lessleaves(X,leaf) false (3)
lessleaves(leaf,cons(W,Z)) true (4)
lessleaves(cons(U,V),cons(W,Z)) lessleaves(concat(U,V),concat(W,Z)) (5)
The evaluation strategy is innermost.

Property / Task

Determine bounds on the runtime complexity.

Answer / Result

An upperbound for the complexity is O(n).

Proof (by AProVE @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Bounds

The given TRS is match-(raise)-bounded by 2. This is shown by the following automaton.
