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

is_empty(nil) → true
is_empty(cons(x, l)) → false
hd(cons(x, l)) → x
tl(cons(x, l)) → l
append(l1, l2) → ifappend(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))

(19) CdtRuleRemovalProof (UPPER BOUND (ADD(O(n^1))) transformation)

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

IFAPPEND(cons(z0, z1), x1, false) → c6(APPEND(z1, x1))
We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

APPEND(cons(z0, z1), x1) → c4(IFAPPEND(cons(z0, z1), x1, false))
IFAPPEND(cons(z0, z1), x1, false) → c6(APPEND(z1, x1))
The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(APPEND(x1, x2)) = x1   
POL(IFAPPEND(x1, x2, x3)) = x1   
POL(c4(x1)) = x1   
POL(c6(x1)) = x1   
POL(cons(x1, x2)) = [4] + x1 + x2   
POL(false) = 0
