Claim 3:
4. The controller for the internal combustion engine according to claim 3, wherein
the processing circuitry is configured to execute a first average value calculating process and a second average value calculating process,
the first average value calculating process is a process of calculating a short-term moving average value of the upstream-side temperature,
the second average value calculating process is a process of calculating a long-term moving average value, the long-term moving average value being a moving average value of the upstream-side temperature in a period longer than a period in which the short-term moving average value is calculated, and
the processing circuitry is configured to determine that the upstream-side temperature exhibits an increasing tendency based on a differential value of the short-term moving average value and a differential value of the long-term moving average value both being greater than or equal to a specified value.
