We show that termination of a class of linear loop programs is decidable. Linear loop programs are discrete-time linear systems with a loop condition governing termination, that is...
We show that termination of a simple class of linear loops over the integers is decidable. Namely we show that termination of deterministic linear loops is decidable over the integ...
We introduce Recursive Markov Decision Processes (RMDPs) and Recursive Simple Stochastic Games (RSSGs), which are classes of (finitely presented) countable-state MDPs and zero-su...
We present a simple method to formally prove termination of recursive functions by searching for lexicographic combinations of size measures. Despite its simplicity, the method tur...
Recent advances in non-monotonic semantics of deductive databases provide a simple framework for modeling the even-condition-action rules of active databases. This approach unifie...
