多区间上非线性程序的终止性判定

主要解决了如下形式的程序的终止性判定的问题:while(x∈Ω)do{x:=(f)(x)}end,其中,x为程序变元,Ω(Ω=(a1,b1‖∪‖a2,b2‖∪…∪‖an,bn),其中,‖∈{(,),,]},n ∈ N*)是间段并集(f)是一个多项式函数.证明了:当ψ(b1)ψ(a2)＞0,…,ψ(bn-1)ψ(an)＞0(其中,ψ(x)=(f)(x)-x)时,这类区间上的非线性程序不终止的必要条件是:在Ω内部或者边界上存在不动点.如果不动点仅仅在Ω内部,则上述结果是充要条件.通过添加一定的约束条件,对于仅区间边界有不动点的情况,也给出了判定的方法.对一类多项式函数的终止性给出了完备性的算法(TNPSI).

Termination of Non-linear Programs over the Set of Intervals

The solution of the following programs:while(x∈Ω) do {x:=f(x)} end,which was called as Non-linear Programs over intervals,was presented,where x was a program variable,Ω(Ω=(a1,b1‖∪‖a2,b2‖∪…∪‖an,bn),while ‖∈{(,),,]},n∈N) was a set of intervals,and f was a polynomial function.It was proved that,whenφ(b1)φ(a2)>0,…,φ(bn-1)φ(an)>0(φ(x)=f(x)-x),the necessary condition for non-termination of the above program was that there existed fixed point within Ω or on the boundaries of Ω.Furthermore,if there were fixed points within Ω,the above condition was not only necessary but also sufficient.When all fixed points were on the boundaries of Ω,the corresponding necessary and sufficient condition of nontermination was established by introducing more constraints,and a decision algorithm for continuous polynomial function was presented.
