| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we established a framework for verification of pointer-less imperative programs, especially C programs and LLVM intermediate representations: We first transform a program into an equivalent logically constrained term rewrite system, and then verify the rewrite system by means of rewriting induction or a proof system for all-path reachability. Then, we implemented a verification tool based on the framework. In the framework, equivalence of programs is reduced to inductive theorems, and is verified by rewriting induction. Non-occurrence of a specified runtime error is reduced to an all-path reachability problem, and is verified by a proof system based on co-induction. In addition, to compare a proof system based on rewriting induction with a cyclic proof system, for a sequent w.r.t. inductive definitions satisfying a certain condition, we showed transformations between a cyclic proof and a rewriting-induction proof for validity of the sequent.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では，書換え理論を実用プログラムに応用することをめざし，車載組込みシステムの検証に提案手法を応用することを試みた．この応用はこれまでにない試みであり，本研究の成果は書換え理論，特に制約付き書換えの実用性・有用性を示したと言える．さらに，これまでに研究されてきた多くの書換え理論の研究成果が提案手法を通じて応用できる可能性も示した．その観点から学術的意義だけでなく，社会的意義がある研究課題であることも示したと言える．
一方，全パス到達可能性を実行時エラーの非発生の証明に応用することも新しい試みであり，その有用性・実用性の観点から今後，さらに研究する価値がある課題であることを示した．
