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

a__f(X, X) → a__f(a, b)
a__b → a
mark(f(X1, X2)) → a__f(mark(X1), X2)
mark(b) → a__b
mark(a) → a
a__f(X1, X2) → f(X1, X2)
a__b → b

(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.

MARK(f(z0, z1)) → c4(MARK(z0))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

MARK(f(z0, z1)) → c4(MARK(z0))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(MARK(x1)) = [5]x1   
POL(c4(x1)) = x1   
POL(f(x1, x2)) = [1] + x1
