Abstract

The main result of this paper is that every demonic refinement algebra with enabledness and termination is isomorphic to an algebra of ordered pairs of elements of a Kleene algebra with domain and with a divergence operator satisfying a mild condition. Divergence is an operator producing a test interpreted as the set of states from which nontermination may occur.
