We accelerate the finding of occluders in tree based acceleration structures, such as a packetized BVH and a single ray kd-tree, by deriving the ray termination surface area heur...
Usually termination of term rewriting systems TRS's is proved by means of a monotonic well-founded order. If this order is total on ground terms, the TRS is called totally ...
Recent advances in termination analysis have yielded new methods and tools that are highly automatic. However, when they fail, even experts have difficulty understanding why and de...
