Non-Termination of Logic Programs Using Patterns

preprint2025arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we consider an approach introduced in term rewriting for the automatic detection of non-looping non-termination from patterns of rules. We adapt it to logic programming by defining a new unfolding technique that produces patterns describing possibly infinite sets of finite rewrite sequences. We present an experimental evaluation of our contributions that we implemented in our tool NTI.
