| Summary: | An algorithm for solving the coverability problem for monotonic counter systems is presented. The solvability of this problem is well-known, but the algorithm is interesting due to its simplicity. The algorithm has emerged as a simplification of a certain procedure of a supercompiler application (a program specializer based on V.F. Turchin's supercompilation) to a program encoding a monotonic counter system along with initial and target sets of states and from the proof that under some conditions the procedure terminates and solves the coverability problem. |
