YES(?,PRIMREC) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,PRIMREC). Strict Trs: { exp(x, 0()) -> s(0()) , exp(x, s(y)) -> *(x, exp(x, y)) , *(0(), y) -> 0() , *(s(x), y) -> +(y, *(x, y)) , -(x, 0()) -> x , -(0(), y) -> 0() , -(s(x), s(y)) -> -(x, y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,PRIMREC) The input was oriented with the instance of'multiset path order' as induced by the precedence exp > *, exp > +, 0 > *, 0 > +, s > *, s > +, * > +, - > *, - > +, exp ~ 0, exp ~ s, exp ~ -, 0 ~ s, 0 ~ -, s ~ - . Hurray, we answered YES(?,PRIMREC)
