Abstract

Acceleration methods are commonly used for computing precisely the effects of loops in the reachability analysis of counter machine models. Applying these methods on synchronous data-flow programs with Boolean and numerical variables, e.g. Lustre programs, firstly requires the enumeration of the Boolean states in order to obtain a control graph with numerical variables only. Secondly, acceleration methods have to deal with the non-determinism introduced by numerical input variables. In this article we address the latter problem by extending the concept of abstract acceleration of Gonnord et al. to numerical input variables.
