Demonic Fixed Points

Abstract:
We deal with a relational model for the demonic semantics of
programs. The demonic semantics of a while loop is given as a
fixed point of a function involving the demonic operators.
This motivates us to investigate the fixed points of these
functions. We give the expression of the greatest fixed point
with respect to the demonic ordering (
demonic
inclusion
) of the semantic function. We prove that this
greatest fixed coincides with the least fixed point with
respect to the usual ordering (
angelic inclusion
) of
the same function. This is followed by an example of
application.
