Termination Analysis of Linear-Constraint Programs

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Samir Genaim, Joël Ouaknine +1

This paper provides an overview of techniques in termination analysis for programs with numerical variables and transitions defined by linear constraints. This subarea of program a…

Multiphase-Linear Ranking Functions and their Relation to Recurrent Sets

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Jesús J. Doménech, Samir Genaim

Multiphase ranking functions (MRFs) are tuples of linear functions that are often used to prove termination of loops in which the computation pr…

On Multiphase-Linear Ranking Functions

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Samir Genaim

Multiphase ranking functions () were proposed as a means to prove the termination of a loop in which the computation progresses through a number of "phases", and th…

Complexity of Bradley-Manna-Sipma Lexicographic Ranking Functions

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Samir Genaim

In this paper we turn the spotlight on a class of lexicographic ranking functions introduced by Bradley, Manna and Sipma in a seminal CAV 2005 paper, and establish for the first ti…

Flowchart Programs, Regular Expressions, and Decidability of Polynomial Growth-Rate

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Aviad Pineles

We present a new method for inferring complexity properties for a class of programs in the form of flowcharts annotated with loop information. Specifically, our method can (soundly…

Ranking Functions for Linear-Constraint Loops

Amir M. Ben-Amram, Samir Genaim

In this paper we study the complexity of the problems: given a loop, described by linear constraints over a finite set of variables, is there a linear or lexicographical-linear ran…
