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

(0) Obligation:

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

p(s(x)) → x

(7) CdtPolyRedPairProof (UPPER BOUND (ADD(O(n^1))) transformation)

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

FAC(s(z0)) → c2(FAC(z0))

We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

FAC(s(z0)) → c2(FAC(z0))

The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(FAC(x₁)) = [5]x₁   
POL(c2(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(s(x₁)) = [1] + x₁
