  • Abstract: This theory present a methodology to organize and simplify non-trivial termination proofs of functions using well-founded multiset orderings. The theory consists of:
    • A formalization of the Dershowitz and Manna theorem.
    • A methodology for proving termination properties.
    • Three case studies: a tail--recursive definition of Ackermann's function, an iterative definition of McCarthy's 91 function and an iterative function to compute a generic schema for double recursion
