Abstract

Refinement algebras are abstract algebras for reasoning about programs in a total correctness framework. We extend a reduct of von Wright's demonic refinement algebra with two operators for modelling enabledness and termination of programs. We show how the operators can be used for expressing relations between programs and apply the algebra to reasoning about action systems.
