TL;DR

This is the first, to the authors' knowledge, integration of an LLM with a termination-analysis algorithm, solving 39% more problems than the best LLM alone and more than tripling the number solved by the built-in analysis on their benchmark.

A light-weight proof checker for TSTP refutations

A proof checker called Nörgler is introduced that builds upon and extends the established approach pioneered by GDV and supports checking propositional, (untyped and typed) first-order, and higher-order refutations represented in TSTP.

Proving Total Correctness of Top-Down Solvers with Widening and Narrowing

The top-down solver TD is a generic fixpoint algorithm that can be used to compute partial post-solutions of equation systems for abstract interpretation. We consider two extensions of the TD to deal with infinite strictly ascending chains. For the TD extended with warrowing, we formally prove that it always returns pa...
