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:

lt(0, s(x)) → true
lt(x, 0) → false
lt(s(x), s(y)) → lt(x, y)
logarithm(x) → ifa(lt(0, x), x)
ifa(true, x) → help(x, 1)
ifa(false, x) → logZeroError
help(x, y) → ifb(lt(y, x), x, y)
ifb(true, x, y) → help(half(x), s(y))
ifb(false, x, y) → y
half(0) → 0
half(s(0)) → 0
half(s(s(x))) → s(half(x))

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following loop(s) give(s) rise to the lower bound Ω(n¹):
The rewrite sequence
lt(s(x), s(y)) →⁺ lt(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 [ ].
