GCD Test
- There is an integer solution to the dependence eqn. when
divides c
- If not, then there are no integer solutions regardless of the bounds.
- Applies to Single Dependence eqn.
- Inexpensive test; finding gcd is very efficient
Extreme Value Test
- Find the extreme values of the expression in dependence eqn.

The region of
is bounded by loop limits and other constraints
- Method finds lower and upper bounds of the function
- Value of c must lie between lower and upper bounds
- Efficient but inexact test
- Does not enforce restriction to integer soln.
Example
The constraints are: |
