One of the obstacles in automatic program proving is to obtain suitable loop invariants. The invariant of a loop is a weakened form of its postcondition (the loop's goal, als...
Program verification is usually done by adding specifications and invariants to the program and then proving that the verification conditions are all true. This makes program verif...
This paper describes a sound technique that combines the precision em proving with the loop-invariant inference of abstract interpretation. The loop-invariant computations are invo...
The development, specification, and use of a loop invariant are useful and underutilized tools in writing code to solve a problem or implement an algorithm. Invariants are especi...
In [17], an abstract framework for automatically generating loop invariants of imperative programs was proposed. This framework was then instantiated for the language of conjuncti...
Abstract. We present a new method for automatic generation of loop invariants for programs containing arrays. Unlike all previously known methods, our method allows one to generate...
We present a loop property generation method for loops iterating over multi-dimensional arrays. When used on matrices, our method is able to infer their shapes (also called types),...
