Inference of Inequality Constraints in Logic Programs (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Algorithmic inference of size-inequality constraints among logic-program arguments to establish top-down termination and assist bottom-up safety proofs. Emphasizes practical, decidable sufficient conditions (e.g., monotonicity-based) for programs with function symbols. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
