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

a__U11(tt, M, N) → a__U12(tt, M, N)
a__U12(tt, M, N) → s(a__plus(mark(N), mark(M)))
a__U21(tt, M, N) → a__U22(tt, M, N)
a__U22(tt, M, N) → a__plus(a__x(mark(N), mark(M)), mark(N))
a__plus(N, 0) → mark(N)
a__plus(N, s(M)) → a__U11(tt, M, N)
a__x(N, 0) → 0
a__x(N, s(M)) → a__U21(tt, M, N)
mark(U11(X1, X2, X3)) → a__U11(mark(X1), X2, X3)
mark(U12(X1, X2, X3)) → a__U12(mark(X1), X2, X3)
mark(plus(X1, X2)) → a__plus(mark(X1), mark(X2))
mark(U21(X1, X2, X3)) → a__U21(mark(X1), X2, X3)
mark(U22(X1, X2, X3)) → a__U22(mark(X1), X2, X3)
mark(x(X1, X2)) → a__x(mark(X1), mark(X2))
mark(tt) → tt
mark(s(X)) → s(mark(X))
mark(0) → 0
a__U11(X1, X2, X3) → U11(X1, X2, X3)
a__U12(X1, X2, X3) → U12(X1, X2, X3)
a__plus(X1, X2) → plus(X1, X2)
a__U21(X1, X2, X3) → U21(X1, X2, X3)
a__U22(X1, X2, X3) → U22(X1, X2, X3)
a__x(X1, X2) → x(X1, X2)

Rewrite Strategy: FULL

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following loop(s) give(s) rise to the lower bound Ω(2n):
The rewrite sequence
mark(U22(tt, X2, X3)) →+ a__plus(a__x(mark(X3), mark(X2)), mark(X3))
gives rise to a decreasing loop by considering the right hand sides subterm at position [0,0].
The pumping substitution is [X3 / U22(tt, X2, X3)].
The result substitution is [ ].

The rewrite sequence
mark(U22(tt, X2, X3)) →+ a__plus(a__x(mark(X3), mark(X2)), mark(X3))
gives rise to a decreasing loop by considering the right hand sides subterm at position [1].
The pumping substitution is [X3 / U22(tt, X2, X3)].
The result substitution is [ ].
