Flowchart Programs, Regular Expressions, and Decidability of Polynomial Growth-Rate

We present a new method for inferring complexity properties for a class of programs in the form of flowcharts annotated with loop information. Specifically, our method can (soundly and completely) decide if computed values are polynomially bounded as a function of the input; and similarly for the ru...
