We study how to preserve universal termination besides computed answer substitutions while transforming definite programs. We consider the unfold operation both alone and combined with the introduction of a new definition and fold operations. We prove that unfold always preserves universal termination. Moreover we define a restricted version of the Tamaki-Sato's transformation sequence and show that it preserves universal termination as well.

Abstract
We study how to preserve universal termination besides computed answer substitutions while transforming definite programs. We consider the unfold operation both alone and combined with the introduction of a new definition and fold operations. We prove that unfold always preserves universal termination. Moreover we define a restricted version of the Tamaki-Sato's transformation sequence and show that it preserves universal termination as well.File in questo prodotto:
