Abstract

We present an algorithm to prove termination of programs. The method relies on the fact that the program loop can be represented by a non-trivial MSCS of the program's CFG, and we show that the program termination is equivalent to the existence of ranking function for each SCS of the program's CFG. We give an example to show the algorithm is feasible. It has a potential application to determine the program termination automatically.
