    Determining whether a given program terminates is the
    quintessential undecidable problem...

    Conceptually, our method proves that a program terminates by computing a transition formula for each loop that over-approximates the behavior of
    its body, and then proving that the corresponding relation admits no
    infinite sequences...

    An efficient algorithm for computing an 𝜔-regular expression that
    recognizes the infinite paths through a control flow graph, which forms
    the algorithmic foundation of our program analysis framework.
