The Runtime Complexity (innermost) 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:

minus(x, 0) → x
minus(s(x), s(y)) → minus(x, y)
quot(0, s(y)) → 0
quot(s(x), s(y)) → s(quot(minus(x, y), s(y)))
app(nil, y) → y
app(add(n, x), y) → add(n, app(x, y))
reverse(nil) → nil
reverse(add(n, x)) → app(reverse(x), add(n, nil))
shuffle(nil) → nil
shuffle(add(n, x)) → add(n, shuffle(reverse(x)))
concat(leaf, y) → y
concat(cons(u, v), y) → cons(u, concat(v, y))
less_leaves(x, leaf) → false
less_leaves(leaf, cons(w, z)) → true
less_leaves(cons(u, v), cons(w, z)) → less_leaves(concat(u, v), concat(w, z))

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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