+This report presents a new termination analysis for Mercury that
+approximates interargument size relationships using convex constraints.
+These relationships are derived using an analysis based upon abstract
+interpretation.
+Although this analysis is more expensive than that of the existing termination
+analyser, it is able to prove the termination of a larger class of predicates.
+We consider how this analysis interacts with aspects of Mercury such as the
+module system, declarative I/O, higher-order code and the foreign language
+interface.
