The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(O(1), O(n^2)).

Runtime Complexity TRS:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

sort(nil) → nil
sort(cons(x, y)) → insert(x, sort(y))
insert(x, nil) → cons(x, nil)
insert(x, cons(v, w)) → choose(x, cons(v, w), x, v)
choose(x, cons(v, w), y, 0) → cons(x, cons(v, w))
choose(x, cons(v, w), 0, s(z)) → cons(v, insert(x, w))
choose(x, cons(v, w), s(y), s(z)) → choose(x, cons(v, w), y, z)

Found a reduction pair which oriented the following tuples strictly. Hence they can be removed from S.
