  • Heterogeneous Fixed Points with Application to Points-to Analysis
    2014
    Co-Authors: Aditya Kanade, Uday P. Khedker, Amitabha Sanyal
    Abstract:

    Abstract. Many situations can be modeled as solutions of systems of simultaneous equations. If the functions of these equations monotonically increase in all bound variables, then the existence of Extremal Fixed Point solutions for the equations is guaranteed. Among all solutions, these Fixed Points uniformly take least or greatest values for all bound variables. Hence, we call them homogeneous Fixed Points. However, there are systems of equations whose functions monotonically increase in some variables and decrease in others. The existence of solutions of such equations cannot be guaranteed using classical Fixed Point theory. In this paper, we define general conditions to guarantee the existence and computability of Fixed Point solutions of such equations. In contrast to homogeneous Fixed Points, these Fixed Points take least values for some variables and greatest values for others. Hence, we call them heterogeneous Fixed Points. We illustrate heterogeneous Fixed Point theory through Points-to analysis.

  • TACAS - Games and Modal Mu-Calculus
    Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, 1996
    Co-Authors: Colin Stirling
    Abstract:

    We define Ehrenfeucht-FraIsse games which exactly capture the expressive power of the Extremal Fixed Point operators of modal mu-calculus. The resulting games have significance, we believe, within and outside of concurrency theory. On the one hand they naturally extend the iterative bisimulation games associated with Hennessy-Milner logic, and on the other hand they offer deeper insight into the logical role of Fixed Points. For this purpose we also define second-order propositional modal logic to contrast Fixed Points and second-order quantifiers.
