Abstract

Current methods for mechanical program verification require a complete predicate specification on each loop. Because this is t7dious and error-prone, producing a program w~th complete, correct predicates is reasonably difficult and would be facilitated by machine assistance. This paper discusses heuristic methods for mechanically deriving loop predicates from their boundary conditions and for mechanically completing partially specified loop predicates.
