  We present a method for the synthesis of polynomial lasso programs. These
programs consist of a program stem, a set of transitions, and an exit
condition, all in the form of algebraic assertions (conjunctions of polynomial
equalities). Central to this approach is the discovery of non-linear
(algebraic) loop invariants. We extend Sankaranarayanan, Sipma, and Manna's
template-based approach and prove a completeness criterion. We perform program
synthesis by generating a constraint whose solution is a synthesized program
together with a loop invariant that proves the program's correctness. This
constraint is non-linear and is passed to an SMT solver. Moreover, we can
enforce the termination of the synthesized program with the support of test
cases.
