YES(?,O(n^1)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { h(f(x), y) -> f(g(x, y)) , g(x, y) -> h(x, y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(n^1)) The problem is match-bounded by 2. The enriched problem is compatible with the following automaton. { h_0(2, 2) -> 1 , h_1(2, 2) -> 3 , h_2(2, 2) -> 4 , f_0(2) -> 2 , f_1(4) -> 1 , f_1(4) -> 3 , f_1(4) -> 4 , g_0(2, 2) -> 3 , g_1(2, 2) -> 4 } Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
