History
Dominance was first introduced by Reese T. Prosser in a 1959 paper on analysis of flow diagrams. Prosser did not present an algorithm for computing dominance, which had to wait ten years for Edward S. Lowry and C. W. Medlock. Ron Cytron et al. rekindled interest in dominance in 1989 when they applied it to efficient computation of φ functions, which are used in static single assignment form.
