Aligator is a Mathematica package for reasoning algebraically about a rich class of imperative loops, called the P-solvable loops. These loops are with assignments, sequencing and conditionals, test conditions are ignored, they work on number and have polynomial closed forms.
Aligator stands for automated loop invariant generation by algebraic techniques over the rationals. It combines symbolic summation and polynomial algebra with computational logic, and automatically generates a finite set of polynomial invariants. The method is shown to be complete - the returned set of polynomials forms a basis of the polynomial invariant ideal
The Aligator package contains routines for
New version of Aligator for generating quantified invariants over multi-dimensional arrays is available from here.
