*Further Information*

*In earlier work, we developed a technique to prove termina-tion of Java programs automatically: first, Java programs are automat-ically transformed to term rewrite systems (TRSs) and then, existing methods and tools are used to prove termination of the resulting TRSs. In this paper, we extend our technique in order to prove termination of algorithms on cyclic data such as cyclic lists or graphs automatically. We implemented our technique in the tool AProVE and performed extensive experiments to evaluate its practical applicability. 1*
