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:

anchored(Cons(x, xs), y) → anchored(xs, Cons(Cons(Nil, Nil), y))

(8) Obligation:

Innermost TRS:
Rules:
anchored(Cons(xs), y) → anchored(xs, Cons(y))
anchored(Nil, y) → y

hole_Cons:Nil1_0 :: Cons:Nil

anchored

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

Proved the following rewrite lemma:
anchored(gen_Cons:Nil2_0(n4_0), gen_Cons:Nil2_0(b)) → gen_Cons:Nil2_0(+(n4_0, b)), rt ∈ Ω(1 + n4₀)

Induction Base:
anchored(gen_Cons:Nil2_0(0), gen_Cons:Nil2_0(b)) →_R^Ω(1)
gen_Cons:Nil2_0(b)

Induction Step:
anchored(gen_Cons:Nil2_0(+(n4_0, 1)), gen_Cons:Nil2_0(b)) →_R^Ω(1)
anchored(gen_Cons:Nil2_0(n4_0), Cons(gen_Cons:Nil2_0(b))) →_IH
gen_Cons:Nil2_0(+(+(b, 1), c5_0))

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