Abstract
We prove that termination of lower dimensional flips for generalized $\operatorname{klt}$ pairs implies termination of flips for $\operatorname{log}$ canonical generalized pairs with a weak Zariski decomposition. Under the same hypothesis we prove that the existence of weak Zariski decompositions for pseudo-effective log canonical pairs implies the existence of weak Zariski decompositions for pseudo-effective generalized log canonical pairs. As an application, we prove the termination of any minimal model program for generalized log canonical pseudo-effective $4$‑folds.
