  On the mechanical derivation of loop invariants
Chadha R., Plaisted D. Journal of Symbolic Computation 15(5-6): 705-744, 1993.  Type: Article

A method for automatically deriving loop invariants for loops in a flowchart program for the purpose of proving the partial correctness of the program is described. In fact, the authors present a method for deriving logical consequence...

  Rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, …
Dershowitz N. (ed), Kaplan S., Plaisted D. Theoretical Computer Science 83(1): 71-96, 1991.  Type: Article

By imposing a topology on the set defining a binary relation →, the authors extend the notion of finite convergence of → to that of &agr;-convergence, for &agr; an arbitrary ordinal number. In specializing to ...

  A heuristic algorithm for small separators in arbitrary graphs
Plaisted D. SIAM Journal on Computing 19(2): 267-280, 1990.  Type: Article

Plaisted describes an algorithm for decomposing (cutting) a graph G into subgraphs, G i, in a near-optimum manner. The resulting graphs G i have a near-mini...

  Associative path orderings
Bachmair L., Plaisted D.  Rewriting techniques and applications (, Dijon, France, 2541985.  Type: Proceedings

The problem of finding a canonical form bor a word in a free algebra that represents an equational theory can be more or less easily solved when the equations of interest constitute the reduction rules under some simplified ordering of...

  A structure-preserving clause form translation
Plaisted D., Greenbaum S. Journal of Symbolic Computation 2(3): 293-304, 1986.  Type: Article

This short paper (10 pages) describes an idea for improving resolution theorem provers: Avoid exponential growth in the number of clauses due to the usual way of converting to conjunctive normal form. Instead, invent new predicates to ...
