The Runtime Complexity (innermost) of the given CpxTRS could be proven to be BOUNDS(O(1), O(n^2)).

(0) Obligation:

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

app(nil, k) → k
app(l, nil) → l
app(cons(x, l), k) → cons(x, app(l, k))
sum(cons(x, nil)) → cons(x, nil)
sum(cons(x, cons(y, l))) → sum(cons(plus(x, y), l))
sum(app(l, cons(x, cons(y, k)))) → sum(app(l, sum(cons(x, cons(y, k)))))
plus(0, y) → y
plus(s(x), y) → s(plus(x, y))

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

APP(cons(z0, z1), z2) → c2(APP(z1, z2))
SUM(cons(z0, cons(z1, z2))) → c4(SUM(cons(plus(z0, z1), z2)), PLUS(z0, z1))

We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
