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: { d(x) -> e(u(x)) , d(u(x)) -> c(x) , c(u(x)) -> b(x) , b(u(x)) -> a(e(x)) , v(e(x)) -> x } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We add following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { d^#(x) -> c_1() , d^#(u(x)) -> c_2(c^#(x)) , c^#(u(x)) -> c_3(b^#(x)) , b^#(u(x)) -> c_4() , v^#(e(x)) -> c_5() } and mark the set of starting terms.

We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict DPs: { d^#(x) -> c_1() , d^#(u(x)) -> c_2(c^#(x)) , c^#(u(x)) -> c_3(b^#(x)) , b^#(u(x)) -> c_4() , v^#(e(x)) -> c_5() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) The weightgap principle applies (using the following constant growth matrix-interpretation) The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(c_2) = {1}, Uargs(c_3) = {1} TcT has computed following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [e](x1) = [2] [u](x1) = [1] x1 + [1] [d^#](x1) = [2] x1 + [2] [c_1] = [1] [c_2](x1) = [1] x1 + [1] [c^#](x1) = [1] x1 + [2] [c_3](x1) = [1] x1 + [1] [b^#](x1) = [1] x1 + [1] [c_4] = [1] [v^#](x1) = [1] x1 + [2] [c_5] = [1] This order satisfies following ordering constraints: Further, it can be verified that all rules not oriented are covered by the weightgap condition. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)). Weak DPs: { d^#(x) -> c_1() , d^#(u(x)) -> c_2(c^#(x)) , c^#(u(x)) -> c_3(b^#(x)) , b^#(u(x)) -> c_4() , v^#(e(x)) -> c_5() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(1)) The following weak DPs constitute a sub-graph of the DG that is closed under successors. The DPs are removed. { d^#(x) -> c_1() , d^#(u(x)) -> c_2(c^#(x)) , c^#(u(x)) -> c_3(b^#(x)) , b^#(u(x)) -> c_4() , v^#(e(x)) -> c_5() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(1)).
