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: { app(nil(), xs) -> nil() , app(cons(x, xs), ys) -> cons(x, app(xs, ys)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We add following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { app^#(nil(), xs) -> c_1() , app^#(cons(x, xs), ys) -> c_2(app^#(xs, ys)) } 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: { app^#(nil(), xs) -> c_1() , app^#(cons(x, xs), ys) -> c_2(app^#(xs, ys)) } Strict Trs: { app(nil(), xs) -> nil() , app(cons(x, xs), ys) -> cons(x, app(xs, ys)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) No rule is usable, rules are removed from the input problem. We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(O(1),O(n^1)). Strict DPs: { app^#(nil(), xs) -> c_1() , app^#(cons(x, xs), ys) -> c_2(app^#(xs, ys)) } 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} TcT has computed following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [nil] = [2] [cons](x1, x2) = [1] x2 + [1] [app^#](x1, x2) = [2] x2 + [1] [c_1] = [0] [c_2](x1) = [1] x1 + [0] 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(n^1)). Strict DPs: { app^#(cons(x, xs), ys) -> c_2(app^#(xs, ys)) } Weak DPs: { app^#(nil(), xs) -> c_1() } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(n^1)) The following weak DPs constitute a sub-graph of the DG that is closed under successors. The DPs are removed. { app^#(nil(), xs) -> c_1() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(n^1)). Strict DPs: { app^#(cons(x, xs), ys) -> c_2(app^#(xs, ys)) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(n^1)) The following argument positions are usable: Uargs(c_2) = {1} TcT has computed following constructor-based matrix interpretation satisfying not(EDA). [cons](x1, x2) = [1] x1 + [1] x2 + [3] [app^#](x1, x2) = [1] x1 + [3] x2 + [3] [c_2](x1) = [1] x1 + [2] This order satisfies following ordering constraints: [app^#(cons(x, xs), ys)] = [1] xs + [1] x + [3] ys + [6] > [1] xs + [3] ys + [5] = [c_2(app^#(xs, ys))] Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(n^1))
