YES(?,O(n^1)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { f(s(X)) -> f(X) , g(cons(s(X), Y)) -> s(X) , g(cons(0(), Y)) -> g(Y) , h(cons(X, Y)) -> h(g(cons(X, Y))) } 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. { f_0(2) -> 1 , f_1(2) -> 1 , s_0(2) -> 2 , s_1(2) -> 1 , s_1(2) -> 3 , g_0(2) -> 1 , g_1(2) -> 1 , g_1(2) -> 3 , g_1(4) -> 3 , cons_0(2, 2) -> 2 , cons_1(2, 2) -> 4 , 0_0() -> 2 , h_0(2) -> 1 , h_1(3) -> 1 } Hurray, we answered YES(?,O(n^1))
