A Hoare Logic for the Coinductive Trace-Based Big-Step Semantics of While
In search for a foundational framework for reasoning about observable behavior of programs that may not terminate, we have previously devised a trace-based big-step semantics for W...

Bounded Nondeterminism of Logic Programs
We introduce the notion of bounded nondeterminism for logic programs and queries. A program and a query have bounded nondeterminism if there are finitely many refutations for the...

Near-optimal network design with selfish agents
We introduce a simple network design game that models how independent selfish agents can build or maintain a large network. In our game every agent has a specific connectivity requ...

Non-termination Inference for Constraint Logic Programs
Termination has been a subject of intensive research in the logic programming community for the last two decades. Most works deal with proving universal left termination of a given...

The Automatic Synthesis of Linear Ranking Functions: The Complete Unabridged Version
The classical technique for proving termination of a generic sequential computer program involves the synthesis of a ranking function for each loop of the program. Linear ranking ...
