Abstract. We define a formal syntax and semantics for the Rule Definition Language (RDL) of DemaqLite, which is a fragment of the declarative XML message processing system Demaq....
We give a novel transformation for proving termination of higher-order rewrite systems in the format of Inductive Data Type Systems (IDTSs) by Blanqui, Jouannaud and Okada. The tr...
The analysis and verification of higher-order programs raises the issue of control-flow analysis for higher-order languages. The problem of constructing an accurate call graph for...
This tutorial paper discusses a particular style of operational semantics that enables one to give a ‘syntax-directed’ inductive definition of termination which is very useful...
Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
