The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(1, n^1).

(0) Obligation:

Runtime Complexity TRS:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

f(empty, l) → l
f(cons(x, k), l) → g(k, l, cons(x, k))
g(a, b, c) → f(a, cons(b, c))

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(7) CdtRuleRemovalProof (UPPER BOUND(ADD(n^1)) transformation)

Found a reduction pair which oriented the following tuples strictly. Hence they can be removed from S.

F(cons(z0, z1), z2) → c1(G(z1, z2, cons(z0, z1)))
G(z0, z1, z2) → c2(F(z0, cons(z1, z2)))

We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

F(cons(z0, z1), z2) → c1(G(z1, z2, cons(z0, z1)))
G(z0, z1, z2) → c2(F(z0, cons(z1, z2)))

The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(F(x₁, x₂)) = [2] + [4]x₁   
POL(G(x₁, x₂, x₃)) = [4] + [4]x₁   
POL(c1(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(c2(x₁)) = x₁   
POL(cons(x₁, x₂)) = [4] + x₁ + x₂
