نبذة مختصرة : International audience ; KBO constraint solving is very well-known to be an NPcomplete problem. Motivated by the needs of the family of SCL calculi, we consider the particular case where all terms occurring in a constraint are bound by a (single) ground term. We show that this problem and variants of this problem remain NP-complete even if the form of atoms in the constraint is further restricted. In addition, for a non-strict, partial term ordering solely based on symbol counting constraint solving remains NP-complete. Nevertheless, we provide a new simple algorithm testing KBO constraint solvability that performs well on benchmark examples.
