Termination Detection in Logic Programs using Argument Sizes* (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Automated termination test that models predicate argument sizes as vectors in R^n and finds a nonnegative linear combination guaranteed to decrease in top-down recursion. Uses LP duality to handle nonlinear/mutual recursion; only a sufficient criterion and needs syntactic rewrites. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
