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

(0) Obligation:

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

U11(tt, M, N) → U12(tt, activate(M), activate(N))
U12(tt, M, N) → s(plus(activate(N), activate(M)))
U21(tt, M, N) → U22(tt, activate(M), activate(N))
U22(tt, M, N) → plus(x(activate(N), activate(M)), activate(N))
plus(N, 0) → N
plus(N, s(M)) → U11(tt, M, N)
x(N, 0) → 0
x(N, s(M)) → U21(tt, M, N)
