(** * Polymax Bounding  - The lemma [polymax_bounding] states that the output of an expression [e] with [n] normal variables is bounded by the sum of the polynomial [poly_BC n e] and of the size of its longest safe input. *)
Fixpoint poly_BC n (e : BC) : pol :=
match e with
| zero => pcst 0 0

| succ b => pcst 0 1
