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

tower(x) → f(a, x, s(0))
f(a, 0, y) → y
f(a, s(x), y) → f(b, y, s(x))
f(b, y, x) → f(a, half(x), exp(y))
exp(0) → s(0)
exp(s(x)) → double(exp(x))
double(0) → 0
double(s(x)) → s(s(double(x)))
half(0) → double(0)
half(s(0)) → half(0)
half(s(s(x))) → s(half(x))

Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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