Linearity analysis determines which variables depend on which other variables and whether the dependence is linear or nonlinear. One of the many applications of this analysis is determining whether a loop involves only linear loop-carried dependences and therefore the adjoint of the loop may be reversed and fused with the computation of the original function. This paper specifies the data-flow equations that compute linearity analysis. In addition, the paper describes using linearity analysis with array dependence analysis to determine whether a loop-carried dependence is linear or nonlinear.
