On the Relationship Between Concurrent Separation Logic and Assume-Guarantee Reasoning
We study the relationship between Concurrent Separation Logic (CSL) and the assume-guarantee (A-G) method (a.k.a. rely-guarantee method). We show in three steps that CSL can be tre...

Cyclic proofs of program termination in separation logic
We propose a novel approach to proving the termination of heapmanipulating programs, which combines separation logic with cyclic proof within a Hoare-style proof system. Judgement...

The Logical Approach to Low-Level Stack Reasoning
—Formal verification of low-level programs often requires explicit reasoning and specification of runtime stacks. Treating stacks naively as parts of ordinary heaps can lead to...

Reasoning about B+ Trees with Operational Semantics and Separation Logic
The B+ tree is an ordered tree structure with a fringe list. It is the most widely used data structure for data organisation and searching in database systems specifically, and, p...
