YES(?,O(n^1)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { double(0()) -> 0() , double(s(x)) -> s(s(double(x))) , half(double(x)) -> x , half(0()) -> 0() , half(s(0())) -> 0() , half(s(s(x))) -> s(half(x)) , -(x, 0()) -> x , -(s(x), s(y)) -> -(x, y) , if(0(), y, z) -> y , if(s(x), y, z) -> z } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(n^1)) The problem is match-bounded by 1. The enriched problem is compatible with the following automaton. { double_0(2) -> 1 , double_0(3) -> 1 , double_1(2) -> 8 , double_1(3) -> 8 , 0_0() -> 2 , 0_0() -> 5 , 0_0() -> 6 , 0_1() -> 1 , 0_1() -> 4 , 0_1() -> 8 , 0_1() -> 9 , s_0(2) -> 3 , s_0(2) -> 5 , s_0(2) -> 6 , s_0(3) -> 3 , s_0(3) -> 5 , s_0(3) -> 6 , s_1(7) -> 1 , s_1(7) -> 8 , s_1(8) -> 7 , s_1(9) -> 4 , s_1(9) -> 9 , half_0(2) -> 4 , half_0(3) -> 4 , half_1(2) -> 9 , half_1(3) -> 9 , -_0(2, 2) -> 5 , -_0(2, 3) -> 5 , -_0(3, 2) -> 5 , -_0(3, 3) -> 5 , -_1(2, 2) -> 5 , -_1(2, 3) -> 5 , -_1(3, 2) -> 5 , -_1(3, 3) -> 5 , if_0(2, 2, 2) -> 6 , if_0(2, 2, 3) -> 6 , if_0(2, 3, 2) -> 6 , if_0(2, 3, 3) -> 6 , if_0(3, 2, 2) -> 6 , if_0(3, 2, 3) -> 6 , if_0(3, 3, 2) -> 6 , if_0(3, 3, 3) -> 6 , 2 -> 5 , 2 -> 6 , 3 -> 5 , 3 -> 6 } Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
