Sum of polynomial bounds is bounded by a polynomial bound

Proved
polyBound_sum_le

by junyihjy · Sep 22, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

The sum of two polynomial bounds polyBound c d n + polyBound c' d' n is at most polyBound (c + c') (max d d') n. This is used to combine the time bounds when running two polynomial-time machines in sequence.
