OCaml is particularly well-fitted for formal verification. On one hand, it is a multi-paradigm language with a well-defined semantics, allowing one to write clean, concise, type-safe, and efficient code. On the other hand, it is a language…
This paper presents a novel approach to including non-instantaneous discrete control transitions in the linear hybrid automaton approach to simulation and verification of hybrid control systems. In this paper we study the control of a…
In this paper, we present our ongoing work and initial results on the formal specification and verification of MiniMaple (a substantial subset of Maple with slight extensions) programs. The main goal of our work is to find behavioral errors…
The article "Interpolation and SAT-Based Model Checking" (McMillan, 2003) describes a formal-verification algorithm, which was originally devised to verify safety properties of finite-state transition systems. It derives interpolants from…
This article revisits standard theorems from elementary number theory from a constructive, algorithmic, and proof-theoretic perspective, framed within the theory of computable functionals TCF. Key examples include B\'ezout's identity, the…
Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a rule-based programming language that rewrites collections of constraints. It is typically embedded into a general-purpose language. There exists a plethora of implementation for numerous host languages.…
SPARC processors have many applications in mission-critical industries such as aviation and space engineering. Hence, it is important to provide formal frameworks that facilitate the verification of hardware and software that run on or…
For recursive functions general principles of induction needs to be applied. Instead of verifying them directly using the Vienna Development Method Specification Language (VDM-SL), we suggest a translation to Isabelle/HOL. In this paper,…
The goal of this paper is to help mainstream programmers routinely use formal verification on their smart contracts by 1) proposing a new YAML-format for writing general-purpose formal specifications, 2) demonstrating how a formal…
We propose a simple, yet expressive proof representation from which proofs for different proof assistants can easily be generated. The representation uses only a few inference rules and is based on a frag- ment of first-order logic called…
We present an efficiently executable, formally verified implementation of interval iteration for MDPs. Our correctness proofs span the entire development from the high-level abstract semantics of MDPs to a low-level implementation in LLVM…
Formal verification of cyber-physical and robotic systems requires that we can accurately model physical quantities that exist in the real-world. The use of explicit units in such quantities can allow a higher degree of rigour, since we can…
This is an overview of the Isabelle technology behind the Archive of Formal Proofs (AFP). Interactive development and quasi-interactive build jobs impose significant demands of scalability on the logic (usually Isabelle/HOL), on Isabelle/ML…
Relational program verification is a variant of program verification where one can reason about two programs and as a special case about two executions of a single program on different inputs. Relational program verification can be used for…
Bounded verification has proved useful to detect bugs and to increase confidence in the correctness of a program. In contrast to unbounded verification, reasoning about calls via (bounded) inlining and about loops via (bounded) unrolling…
We propose a security verification framework for cryptographic protocols using machine learning. In recent years, as cryptographic protocols have become more complex, research on automatic verification techniques has been focused on. The…
We introduce a language, PSL, designed to capture high level proof strategies in Isabelle/HOL. Given a strategy and a proof obligation, PSL's runtime system generates and combines various tactics to explore a large search space with low…
This work proposes a novel approach for automatic verification and synthesis of infinite-state reactive programs with respect to ${CTL}^*$ specifications, based on translation to Existential Horn Clauses (EHCs). $CTL^*$ is a powerful…
Higher-order recursion schemes (HORS) have received much attention as a useful abstraction of higher-order functional programs with a number of new verification techniques employing HORS model-checking as their centrepiece. We give an…
Formal verification (FV) has witnessed growing significance with current emerging program synthesis by the evolving large language models (LLMs). However, current formal verification mainly resorts to symbolic verifiers or hand-craft rules,…
