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: { a(b(x)) -> b(a(x)) , a(c(x)) -> x } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We use the processor 'matrix interpretation of dimension 1' to orient following rules strictly. Trs: { a(c(x)) -> x } 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: ---------- TcT has computed the following constructor-based matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA). [a](x1) = [2] x1 + [1] [b](x1) = [1] x1 + [0] [c](x1) = [1] x1 + [3] This order satisfies the following ordering constraints: [a(b(x))] = [2] x + [1] >= [2] x + [1] = [b(a(x))] [a(c(x))] = [2] x + [7] > [1] x + [0] = [x] We return to the main proof.
