Abstract
Recently, Esparza et al. generalized Newton's method-a numerical-analysis algorithm for finding roots of real-valued functions-to a method for finding fixed-points of systems of equations over semirings. Their method provides a new way to solve interprocedural dataflow-analysis problems. As in its real-valued counterpart, each iteration of their method solves a simpler "linearized" problem.
