Semantical Equivalence of the Control Flow Graph and the Program Dependence Graph
نویسنده
چکیده
The program dependence graph (PDG) represents data and control dependence between statements in a program. This paper presents an operational semantics of program dependence graphs. Since PDGs exclude artificial order of statements that resides in sequential programs, executions of PDGs are not unique. However, we identified a class of PDGs that have unique final states of executions, called deterministic PDGs. We prove that the operational semantics of control flow graphs is equivalent to that of deterministic PDGs. The class of deterministic PDGs properly include PDGs obtained from well-structured programs. Thus, our operational semantics of PDGs is more general than that of PDGs for well-structured programs, which are already established in literature.

The graph of equivalence classes and Isoclinism of groups
Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and let $Gamma(G)$ be the non-commuting graph of $G$. In this paper we define an equivalence relation $sim$ on the set of $V(Gamma(G))=Gsetminus Z(G)$ by taking $xsim y$ if and only if $N(x)=N(y)$, where $ N(x)={uin G | x textrm{ and } u textrm{ are adjacent in }Gamma(G)}$ is the open neighborhood of $x$ in $Gamma(G)$. We introduce a new graph determined ...

In this paper, first we introduce the end of locally finite graphs as an equivalence class of infinite paths in the graph. Then we mention the ends of finitely generated groups using the Cayley graph. It was proved that the number of ends of groups are not depended on the Cayley graph and that the number of ends in the groups is equal to zero, one, two, or infinity. For ...

Search-based optimization methods have been used for software engineering activities such as software testing. In the field of software testing, search-based test data generation refers to application of meta-heuristic optimization methods to generate test data that cover the code space of a program. Automatic test data generation that can cover all the paths of software is known as a major cha...
