Ranking functions\r\nare sound and complete for proving termination and worst-case bounds of\r\nnonrecursive programs. First, we apply ranking functions to recursion,\r\nresulting in measure functions. We show that measure functions provide a sound\r\nand complete approach to prove worst-case bounds of non-deterministic recursive\r\nprograms. Our second contribution is the synthesis of measure functions in\r\nnonpolynomial forms. We show that non-polynomial measure functions with\r\nlogarithm and exponentiation can be synthesized through abstraction of\r\nlogarithmic or exponentiation terms, Farkas' Lemma, and Handelman's Theorem\r\nusing linear programming. While previous methods obtain worst-case polynomial\r\nbounds, our approach can synthesize bounds of the form $\\mathcal{O}(n\\log n)$\r\nas well as $\\mathcal{O}(n^r)$ where $r$ is not an integer. We present\r\nexperimental results to demonstrate that our approach can obtain efficiently\r\nworst-case bounds of classical recursive algorithms such as (i) Merge-Sort, the\r\ndivide-and-conquer algorithm for the Closest-Pair problem, where we obtain\r\n$\\mathcal{O}(n \\log n)$ worst-case bound, and (ii) Karatsuba's algorithm for\r\npolynomial multiplication and Strassen's algorithm for matrix multiplication,\r\nwhere we obtain $\\mathcal{O}(n^r)$ bound such that $r$ is not an integer and\r\nclose to the best-known bounds for the respective algorithms."}],"article_number":"20","publication_status":"published","publication":"ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2024-03-25T23:30:18Z","volume":41,"isi":1}
