Abstract:This paper describes a method for finding the least fixed
points of higher-order functions over
finite domains using symbolic manipulation. Fixed point finding is an
essential component
in the calculation of abstract semantics of functional programs, providing
the foundation for
program analyses based on abstract interpretation. Previous methods for
fixed point finding
have primarily used semantic approaches, which often must traverse
large portions of the
semantic domain even for simple … Show more
