Matrix interpretations can be used to bound the derivational complexity of term rewrite systems. In particular, triangular matrix interpretations over the natural numbers are known to induce polynomial upper bounds on the derivational complexity of (compatible) rewrite systems. Using techniques from linear algebra, we show how one can generalize the method to matrices that are not necessarily triangular but nevertheless polynomially bounded. Moreover, we show that our approach also applies to matrix interpretations over the real (algebraic) numbers. In particular, it allows triangular matrix interpretations to infer tighter bounds than the original approach.
