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:

rev(a) → a
rev(b) → b
rev(++(x, y)) → ++(rev(y), rev(x))
rev(++(x, x)) → rev(x)

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) CpxTrsToCdtProof (BOTH BOUNDS(ID, ID) transformation)

Converted Cpx (relative) TRS to CDT

(2) Obligation:

Complexity Dependency Tuples Problem
Rules:

rev(a) → a
rev(b) → b
rev(++(z0, z1)) → ++(rev(z1), rev(z0))

REV(a) → c
REV(b) → c1
REV(++(z0, z1)) → c2(REV(z1), REV(z0))

(5) CdtUsableRulesProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following rules are not usable and were removed:

rev(a) → a
rev(b) → b
rev(++(z0, z1)) → ++(rev(z1), rev(z0))
rev(++(z0, z0)) → rev(z0)

(6) Obligation:

(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.

REV(++(z0, z1)) → c2(REV(z1), REV(z0))
REV(++(z0, z0)) → c3(REV(z0))

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

REV(++(z0, z1)) → c2(REV(z1), REV(z0))
REV(++(z0, z0)) → c3(REV(z0))

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

POL(++(x₁, x₂)) = [3] + x₁ + x₂   
POL(REV(x₁)) = [2] + [2]x₁   
POL(c2(x₁, x₂)) = x₁ + x₂   
POL(c3(x₁)) = x₁
