We introduce a unified view of induction performed by automatic verification tools to prove a given program specification This unification is done in the abstract interpretation framework using extrapolation (widening/dual-widening) and interpolation (narrowing, dual-narrowing, which are equivalent up to the exchange of the parameters). Dual-narrowing generalizes Craig interpolation in First Order Logic pre-ordered by implication to arbitrary abstract domains. An increasing iterative static analysis using extrapolation of successive iterates by widening followed by a decreasing iterative static analysis using interpolation of successive iterates by narrowing (both bounded by the specification) can be further improved by a increasing iterative static analysis using interpolation of iterates with the specification by dual-narrowing until reaching a fixpoint and checking whether it is inductive for the specification.
