To establish sufficient conditions for termination and nontermination simultaneously, the authors propose the notion of strong/weak non-termination which under/over- approximates non-termination. Based on polynomial ideal theory, the authors show that the set of all strong non-terminating inputs （SNTI） and weak non-terminating inputs （WNTI） both correspond to tile real varieties of certain polynomial ideals.
