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

purge(nil) → nil
purge(.(x, y)) → .(x, purge(remove(x, y)))
remove(x, nil) → nil

(1) RenamingProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Renamed function symbols to avoid clashes with predefined symbol.

(2) Obligation:

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

purge(nil) → nil
purge(.(x, y)) → .(x, purge(remove(x, y)))

(7) OrderProof (LOWER BOUND(ID) transformation)

Heuristically decided to analyse the following defined symbols:
purge, remove

They will be analysed ascendingly in the following order:
remove < purge

(8) Obligation:

Innermost TRS:
Rules:
purge(nil) → nil
purge(.(y)) → .(purge(remove(y)))
remove(nil) → nil
remove(.(z)) → if(remove(z), .(y, remove(z)))

Types:
purge :: nil:.:if → nil:.:if
nil :: nil:.:if
. :: nil:.:if → nil:.:if
remove :: nil:.:if → nil:.:if
if :: nil:.:if → . → nil:.:if

Generator Equations:
gen_nil:.:if4_0(0) ⇔ nil
gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(x, 1)) ⇔ .(gen_nil:.:if4_0(x))

The following defined symbols remain to be analysed:
remove, purge

They will be analysed ascendingly in the following order:
remove < purge

(9) RewriteLemmaProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

Proved the following rewrite lemma:
remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, n6_0))) → *5_0, rt ∈ Ω(2n)

Induction Base:
remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, 0)))

Induction Step:
remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, +(n6_0, 1)))) →RΩ(1)
if(remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, n6_0))), .(y, remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, n6_0))))) →IH
if(*5_0, .(y, remove(gen_nil:.:if4_0(+(1, n6_0))))) →IH
if(*5_0, .(y, *5_0))

We have rt ∈ Ω(2n) and sz ∈ O(n). Thus, we have ircR ∈ Ω(2n)
