We consider the bounded termination problem that asks whether the supremum of the expected termination time over all schedulers is bounded. First, we show that ranking supermartingales (RSMs) are both sound and complete for proving bounded termination over nondeterministic probabilistic programs. For nondeterministic probabilistic programs a previous result claimed that RSMs are not complete for bounded termination, whereas our result corrects the previous flaw and establishes completeness with a rigorous proof. Second, we present the first sound approach to establish lower bounds on expected termination time through RSMs."}],"volume":11388,"date_created":"2019-02-10T22:59:17Z","day":"11","publisher":"Springer Nature","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"isi":1,"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","article_processing_charge":"No"}
