Size-change termination principle

The size-change termination principle (SCT) guarantees termination for a computer program by proving that infinite computations always trigger infinite descent in data values that are well-founded. Size-change termination analysis utilizes this principle in order to solve the universal halting problem for a certain class of programs. When applied to general programs, the principle is intended to be used conservatively, which means that if the analysis determines that a program is terminating, the answer is sound, but a negative answer means "don't know". The decision problem for SCT is PSPACE-complete; however, there exists an algorithm that computes an approximation of the decision problem in polynomial time. Size-change analysis is applicable to both first-order and higher-order functional programs, as well as imperative programs and logic programs. The latter application preceded by four years the general formulation of the principle by Lee et al. (Wikipedia).

How to determine the reduction scale factor for two parallelograms

👉 Learn about dilations. Dilation is the transformation of a shape by a scale factor to produce an image that is similar to the original shape but is different in size from the original shape. A dilation that creates a larger image is called an enlargement or a stretch while a dilation tha
