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

rev(nil) → nil
rev(.(x, y)) → ++(rev(y), .(x, nil))
car(.(x, y)) → x
cdr(.(x, y)) → y
null(nil) → true
null(.(x, y)) → false
++(nil, y) → y
++(.(x, y), z) → .(x, ++(y, z))

(7) 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.

REV(.(z0, z1)) → c1(++'(rev(z1), .(z0, nil)), REV(z1))

We considered the (Usable) Rules:none
And the Tuples:

REV(.(z0, z1)) → c1(++'(rev(z1), .(z0, nil)), REV(z1))
++'(.(z0, z1), z2) → c7(++'(z1, z2))

The order we found is given by the following interpretation:
Polynomial interpretation :

POL(++(x₁, x₂)) = 0   
POL(++'(x₁, x₂)) = 0   
POL(.(x₁, x₂)) = [4] + x₂   
POL(REV(x₁)) = [2]x₁
