YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict Trs: { +(0(), y) -> y , +(s(x), y) -> +(x, s(y)) , +(s(x), y) -> s(+(x, y)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We use the processor 'Small Polynomial Path Order (PS,1-bounded)' to orient following rules strictly. Trs: { +(0(), y) -> y , +(s(x), y) -> +(x, s(y)) , +(s(x), y) -> s(+(x, y)) } The induced complexity on above rules (modulo remaining rules) is YES(?,O(n^1)) . These rules are moved into the corresponding weak component(s). Sub-proof: ---------- The input was oriented with the instance of 'Small Polynomial Path Order (PS,1-bounded)' as induced by the safe mapping safe(+) = {2}, safe(0) = {}, safe(s) = {1} and precedence empty . Following symbols are considered recursive: {+} The recursion depth is 1. For your convenience, here are the satisfied ordering constraints: +(0(); y) > y +(s(; x); y) > +(x; s(; y)) +(s(; x); y) > s(; +(x; y)) We return to the main proof. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak Trs: { +(0(), y) -> y , +(s(x), y) -> +(x, s(y)) , +(s(x), y) -> s(+(x, y)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) Empty rules are trivially bounded Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(n^1))
