The Runtime Complexity (full) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(n^1, INF).

(0) Obligation:

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

f(f(a)) → f(g(n__f(n__a)))
f(X) → n__f(X)
a → n__a
activate(n__f(X)) → f(activate(X))
activate(n__a) → a
activate(X) → X

Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(1) CpxTrsToCpxRelTrsProof (BOTH BOUNDS(ID, ID) transformation)

Transformed TRS to relative TRS where S is empty.

(2) Obligation:

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

f(f(a)) → f(g(n__f(n__a)))
f(X) → n__f(X)
a → n__a
activate(n__f(X)) → f(activate(X))
activate(n__a) → a
activate(X) → X

S is empty.
Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(3) SlicingProof (LOWER BOUND(ID) transformation)

Sliced the following arguments:
g/0

(4) Obligation:

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

f(f(a)) → f(g)
f(X) → n__f(X)
a → n__a
activate(n__f(X)) → f(activate(X))
activate(n__a) → a
activate(X) → X

S is empty.
Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(5) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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