Linear Ranking with Reachability
We present a complete method for synthesizing lexicographic linear ranking functions supported by inductive linear invariants for loops with linear guards and transitions. Proving termination via linear ranking functions often requires invariants; yet invariant generation is expensive. Thus, we describe a technique that discovers just the invariants necessary for proving termination. Finally, we describe an implementation of the method and provide extensive experimental evidence of its effectiveness for proving termination of C loops.
