This paper introduces a modular framework for termination analysis of logic programming. To this end, we adapt the notions of dependency pairs and dependency graphs (which were dev...
We provide a global technique, called neatening, for the study of modularity of left-linear Term Rewriting Systems. Objects called bubbles are identi ed as the responsibles of mos...
We show how to combine the two most powerful approaches for automated termination analysis of logic programs (LPs): the direct approach which operates directly on LPs and the trans...
Developing automatable methods for proving termination of term rewrite systems that resist traditional techniques based on simplification orders has become an active research area ...
Abstract. Well-founded orders are the most basic, but also most important ingredient to virtually all termination analyses. Numerous fully automated search algorithms for these cla...
