Policy Iteration in Finite Templates Domain

نویسنده

چکیده

We prove in this paper that policy iteration can be generally defined in finite domain of templates using Lagrange duality. Such policy iteration algorithm converges to a fixed point when for very simple technique condition holds. This fixed point furnishes a safe over-approximation of the set of reachable values taken by the variables of a program. We prove also that policy iteration can be easily initialised for one single loop programs when templates are correctly chosen.

Static Analysis by Policy Iteration on Relational Domains

We give a new practical algorithm to compute, in finite time, a fixpoint (and often the least fixpoint) of a system of equations in the abstract numerical domains of zones and templates used for static analysis of programs by abstract interpretation. This paper extends previous work on the non-relational domain of intervals to relational domains. The algorithm is based on policy iteration techn...

Coupling Policy Iteration with Semi-definite Relaxation to Compute Accurate Numerical Invariants in Static Analysis

We introduce a new domain for finding precise numerical invariants of programs by abstract interpretation. This domain, which consists of sub-level sets of nonlinear functions, generalizes the domain of linear templates introduced by Manna, Sankaranarayanan, and Sipma. In the case of quadratic templates, we use Shor’s semi-definite relaxation to derive safe and computable abstractions of semant...

Generalized and bounded policy iteration for finitely-nested interactive POMDPs: scaling up

Policy iteration algorithms for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) offer the benefits of quick convergence and the ability to operate directly on the solution, which usually takes the form of a finite state controller. However, the controller tends to grow quickly in size across iterations due to which its evaluation and improvement become costly. Bounded policy iteration pr...

Program Analysis with Local Policy Iteration

We present local policy iteration (LPI), a new algorithm for deriving numerical invariants that combines the precision of max-policy iteration with the flexibility and scalability of conventional Kleene iterations. It is defined in the Configurable Program Analysis (CPA) framework, thus allowing inter-analysis communication. LPI uses adjustable-block encoding in order to traverse loop-free prog...

Improving Reuse of Attribute-Based Access Control Policies Using Policy Templates

Access control is key to limiting the actions of users in an application and attribute-based policy languages such as XACML allow to express a wide range of access rules. As these policy languages become more widely used, policies grow both in size and complexity. Modularity and reuse are key to specifying and managing such policies effectively. Ideally, complex or domain-specific policy patter...
