YES(?,O(n^1)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { f(f(X)) -> f(a(b(f(X)))) , f(a(g(X))) -> b(X) , b(X) -> a(X) } 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. { f_0(2) -> 1 , f_0(4) -> 1 , a_0(2) -> 2 , a_0(4) -> 2 , a_1(2) -> 3 , a_1(4) -> 3 , a_2(2) -> 1 , a_2(4) -> 1 , b_0(2) -> 3 , b_0(4) -> 3 , b_1(2) -> 1 , b_1(4) -> 1 , g_0(2) -> 4 , g_0(4) -> 4 } Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
