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: { f(0(), y) -> 0() , f(s(x), y) -> f(f(x, y), y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(O(1),O(n^1)) We add following weak dependency pairs: Strict DPs: { f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() , f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) } 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: { f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() , f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) } Strict Trs: { f(0(), y) -> 0() , f(s(x), y) -> f(f(x, y), y) } 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(f) = {1}, Uargs(f^#) = {1}, Uargs(c_2) = {1} TcT has computed following constructor-restricted matrix interpretation. [f](x1, x2) = [1] x1 + [1] [0] = [1] [s](x1) = [1] x1 + [2] [f^#](x1, x2) = [1] x1 + [2] x2 + [1] [c_1] = [1] [c_2](x1) = [1] x1 + [2] This order satisfies following ordering constraints: [f(0(), y)] = [2] > [1] = [0()] [f(s(x), y)] = [1] x + [3] > [1] x + [2] = [f(f(x, y), y)] 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)). Strict DPs: { f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) } Weak DPs: { f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() } Weak Trs: { f(0(), y) -> 0() , f(s(x), y) -> f(f(x, y), y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(1)) We estimate the number of application of {1} by applications of Pre({1}) = {}. Here rules are labeled as follows: DPs: { 1: f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) , 2: f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(1)). Weak DPs: { f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() , f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) } Weak Trs: { f(0(), y) -> 0() , f(s(x), y) -> f(f(x, y), y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(1)) The following weak DPs constitute a sub-graph of the DG that is closed under successors. The DPs are removed. { f^#(0(), y) -> c_1() , f^#(s(x), y) -> c_2(f^#(f(x, y), y)) } We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,O(1)). Weak Trs: { f(0(), y) -> 0() , f(s(x), y) -> f(f(x, y), y) } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(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)). Rules: Empty Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,O(1)) The input was oriented with the instance of 'Small Polynomial Path Order (PS)' as induced by the safe mapping and precedence empty . Following symbols are considered recursive: {} The recursion depth is 0. Further, following argument filtering is employed: empty Usable defined function symbols are a subset of: {} For your convenience, here are the satisfied ordering constraints: Hurray, we answered YES(O(1),O(n^1))
