However, most existing numerical abstract domains under the framework have limitations in expressing non-convex properties, which may lead to imprecision during the value range analysis. This paper proposes a new numerical abstract domain under the framework of abstract interpretation, namely an abstract domain of one-variable interval linear inequalities. The main idea is to use one-variable interval linear inequality constraints as the representation of domain elements. The new domain is more expressive than the classic interval abstract domain and allows expressing certain non-convex, unconnected properties. Moreover, its domain operations can be implemented via efficient algorithms. Thus, it has high scalability and can be applied in large-scale program analysis in practice. Key words: Value rang
