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

active(f(b, c, x)) → mark(f(x, x, x))
active(f(x, y, z)) → f(x, y, active(z))
active(d) → m(b)
f(x, y, mark(z)) → mark(f(x, y, z))
active(d) → mark(c)
proper(b) → ok(b)
proper(c) → ok(c)
proper(d) → ok(d)
proper(f(x, y, z)) → f(proper(x), proper(y), proper(z))
f(ok(x), ok(y), ok(z)) → ok(f(x, y, z))
top(mark(x)) → top(proper(x))
top(ok(x)) → top(active(x))

Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following loop(s) give(s) rise to the lower bound Ω(n¹):
The rewrite sequence
f(x, y, mark(z)) →⁺ mark(f(x, y, z))
gives rise to a decreasing loop by considering the right hand sides subterm at position [0].
The pumping substitution is [z / mark(z)].
The result substitution is [ ].
