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:

f(s(x), y) → f(x, s(x))
f(x, s(y)) → f(y, x)

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

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