Abstract. Most methods for termination analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs) essentially try to find arguments of functions that decrease in recursive calls. However, they fail ...
Most symbolic model checkers are based on either Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), which may grow exponentially large, or Satisfiability (SAT) solvers, whose time requirements rapi...
The use of automata techniques to prove the termination of string rewrite systems and left-linear term rewrite systems is advocated by Geser et al. in a recent sequence of papers. ...
Bounded Model Checking, although complete in theory, has been thus far limited in practice to falsification of properties that were not invariants. In this paper we propose a term...
In this paper, we present a method that helps improve the performance of Bounded Model Checking by automatically strengthening invariants so that the termination proof may be obta...
