(7) RewriteLemmaProof (LOWER BOUND(ID) transformation)

Proved the following rewrite lemma:
f(gen_b2_0(+(1, n4_0)), gen_b2_0(+(1, n4_0))) → *3_0, rt ∈ Ω(n4₀)

Induction Base:
f(gen_b2_0(+(1, 0)), gen_b2_0(+(1, 0)))

Induction Step:
f(gen_b2_0(+(1, +(n4_0, 1))), gen_b2_0(+(1, +(n4_0, 1)))) →_R^Ω(1)
b(f(gen_b2_0(+(1, n4_0)), gen_b2_0(+(1, n4_0)))) →_IH
b(*3_0)

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