Software verification is a complex problem, and verification tools need significant tuning to achieve high performance. Due to this, many verifiers choose to specialize on reachability properties, or invest the time to implement known…

Quantifier elimination (QE) is an important problem that has numerous applications. Unfortunately, QE is computationally very hard. Earlier we introduced a generalization of QE called $\mathit{partial}$ QE (or PQE for short). PQE allows to…
