A correct, precise and efficient integration of set-sharing, freeness and linearity for the analysis of finite and rational tree

It is well-known that freeness and linearity information positively interact with aliasing information, allowing both the precision and the efficiency of the sharing analysis of logic programs to be improved. In this paper we present a novel combination of set-sharing eness and linearity information, which is characterized by an improved abstract ion operator. We provide a new abstraction function and prove the correctness of the analysis for both the finite tree and the rational tree cases. Moreover, we show that the same notion of redundant information as identified in (Bagnara et al. 2002; Zaffanella et al. so applies to this abstract domain combination: this allows for the implementation stract unification operator running in polynomial time and achieving the same precision on all the considered observable properties.
