YES(O(1),O(n^2)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^2)). Strict Trs: { f(x, c(y)) -> f(x, s(f(y, y))) , f(s(x), s(y)) -> f(x, s(c(s(y)))) } Obligation: runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^2)) We add the following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { f^#(x, c(y)) -> c_1(f^#(x, s(f(y, y)))) , f^#(s(x), s(y)) -> c_2(f^#(x, s(c(s(y))))) } and mark the set of starting terms. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^2)). Strict DPs: { f^#(x, c(y)) -> c_1(f^#(x, s(f(y, y)))) , f^#(s(x), s(y)) -> c_2(f^#(x, s(c(s(y))))) } Strict Trs: { f(x, c(y)) -> f(x, s(f(y, y))) , f(s(x), s(y)) -> f(x, s(c(s(y)))) } Obligation: runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^2)) We use the processor 'matrix interpretation of dimension 2' to orient following rules strictly. DPs: { f^#(x, c(y)) -> c_1(f^#(x, s(f(y, y)))) } Trs: { f(x, c(y)) -> f(x, s(f(y, y))) , f(s(x), s(y)) -> f(x, s(c(s(y)))) } The induced complexity on above rules (modulo remaining rules) is YES(?,O(n^2)) . These rules are moved into the corresponding weak component(s). Sub-proof: ---------- The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(f) = {1, 2}, Uargs(c) = {1}, Uargs(s) = {1}, Uargs(f^#) = {2}, Uargs(c_1) = {1}, Uargs(c_2) = {1} TcT has computed the following constructor-based matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA).

We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)).
