We define a class of special function inequalities that contains many classical examples, such as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, and introduce a proving procedure based on induct...
We describe a simple and efficient algorithm for proving the termination of a class of loops with nonlinear assignments to variables. The method is based on divergence testing fo...

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 ...
Abstract. Shared counters are the key to solving a variety of coordination problems on multiprocessor machines, such as barrier synchronization and index distribution. It is desire...
Abstract. In this paper we combine rewriting techniques with verification issues. More precisely, we show how techniques for proving relative termination of term rewrite systems (...
