Abstract

We employ static analysis to examine monotonicity of functions defined over lattices in a 驴-calculus augmented with constants, branching, meets, joins and recursive definitions. The need for such a verification procedure has recently arisen in our work on a static analyzer generator called Zoo, in which the specification of static analysis (input to Zoo) consists of finite-height lattice definitions and function definitions over the lattices. Once monotonicity of the functions is ascertained, the generated analyzer is guaranteed to terminate.
