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

(0) Obligation:

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

f(h(x)) → f(i(x))
f(i(x)) → a
i(x) → h(x)

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) InfiniteLowerBoundProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The loop following loop proves infinite runtime complexity:
The rewrite sequence
f(h(x)) →⁺ f(h(x))
gives rise to a decreasing loop by considering the right hand sides subterm at position [].
The pumping substitution is [ ].
The result substitution is [ ].
