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:

terms(N) → cons(recip(sqr(N)), n__terms(s(N)))
sqr(0) → 0
sqr(s(X)) → s(add(sqr(X), dbl(X)))
dbl(0) → 0
dbl(s(X)) → s(s(dbl(X)))
add(0, X) → X
add(s(X), Y) → s(add(X, Y))
first(0, X) → nil
first(s(X), cons(Y, Z)) → cons(Y, n__first(X, activate(Z)))
terms(X) → n__terms(X)
first(X1, X2) → n__first(X1, X2)
activate(n__terms(X)) → terms(X)
activate(n__first(X1, X2)) → first(X1, X2)
activate(X) → X

Rewrite Strategy: INNERMOST

(1) DecreasingLoopProof (EQUIVALENT transformation)

The following loop(s) give(s) rise to the lower bound Ω(n¹):
The rewrite sequence
sqr(s(X)) →⁺ s(add(sqr(X), dbl(X)))
gives rise to a decreasing loop by considering the right hand sides subterm at position [0,0].
The pumping substitution is [X / s(X)].
The result substitution is [ ].
