(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following loop(s) give(s) rise to the lower bound Ω(n¹):
The rewrite sequence

(9) RewriteLemmaProof (LOWER BOUND(ID) transformation)

Proved the following rewrite lemma:
f(gen_s:0'2_0(n4_0)) → gen_s:0'2_0(*(2, n4_0)), rt ∈ Ω(1 + n4₀)

Induction Base:
f(gen_s:0'2_0(0)) →_R^Ω(1)
0'

Induction Step:
f(gen_s:0'2_0(+(n4_0, 1))) →_R^Ω(1)
s(s(f(p(s(gen_s:0'2_0(n4_0)))))) →_R^Ω(1)
s(s(f(gen_s:0'2_0(n4_0)))) →_IH
s(s(gen_s:0'2_0(*(2, c5_0))))

We have rt ∈ Ω(n¹) and sz ∈ O(n). Thus, we have irc_R ∈ Ω(n).
