  • Description: We show on an abstract level that contextual equivalence in non-deterministic program calculi defined by may- and must-convergence is maximal in the following sense. Using also all the test predicates generated by the Boolean, forall- and existential closure of may- and must-convergence does not change the contextual equivalence. The situation is different if may- and total must-convergence is used, where an expression totally must-converges if all reductions are finite and terminate with a value: There is an infinite sequence of test-predicates generated by the Boolean, forall- and existential closure of may- and total must-convergence, which also leads to an infinite sequence of different contextual equalities.
