The setting is that of a loop that has been pre-abstracted so that it is described by linear constraints over a finite set of numeric variables. I will review results (more or less recent) regarding the search for ranking functions which are either linear or lexicographic-linear. In: Alexei Lisitsa and Andrei Nemytykh (editors). VPT 2013.
