Abstract

Polynomial interpretations are one of the most popular techniques for automated termination analysis and the search for such interpretations is a main bottleneck in most termination provers. We show that one can obtain speedups in orders of magnitude by encoding this task as a SAT problem and by applying modern SAT solvers.
