A3PAT, an approach for certified automated termination proofs
Software engineering, automated reasoning, rule-based programming or specifications often use rewriting systems for which termination, among other properties, may have to be ensur...

On Tree Automata that Certify Termination of Left-Linear Term Rewriting Systems
We present a new method for proving termination of term rewriting systems automatically. It is a generalization of the match bound method for string rewriting. To prove that a term...

Certifying a Termination Criterion Based on Graphs, without Graphs
Although graphs are very common in computer science, they are still very difficult to handle for proof assistants as proving properties of graphs may require heavy computations. T...

Interactive Termination Proofs Using Termination Cores
Recent advances in termination analysis have yielded new methods and tools that are highly automatic. However, when they fail, even experts have difficulty understanding why and de...

Finding and Certifying Loops
Abstract. The first part of this paper presents a new approach for automatically proving nontermination of string rewrite systems. We encode rewrite sequences as propositional for...
