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

a(x1) → x1
a(b(x1)) → b(b(a(a(c(a(x1))))))
c(c(a(x1))) → x1

(5) 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.

A(b(z0)) → c2(A(a(c(a(z0)))), A(z0))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:

a(z0) → z0
a(b(z0)) → b(b(a(a(c(a(z0))))))
And the Tuples:

A(b(z0)) → c2(A(a(c(a(z0)))), A(z0))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(A(x1)) = [3] + [4]x1   
POL(a(x1)) = [2]x1   
POL(b(x1)) = [4] + x1   
POL(c(x1)) = 0   
POL(c2(x1, x2)) = x1 + x2
