YES(?,PRIMREC) We are left with following problem, upon which TcT provides the certificate YES(?,PRIMREC). Strict Trs: { *(x, +(y, z)) -> +(*(x, y), *(x, z)) , *(x, 1()) -> x , *(+(x, y), z) -> +(*(x, z), *(y, z)) , *(1(), y) -> y } Obligation: innermost runtime complexity Answer: YES(?,PRIMREC) The input was oriented with the instance of'multiset path order' as induced by the precedence * > +, 1 > +, * ~ 1 . Hurray, we answered YES(?,PRIMREC)
