Context-Aided Variable Elimination for Requirement Engineering

Logic in Computer Science 2024-11-22 v1 Systems and Control Systems and Control

Abstract

Deriving system-level specifications from component specifications usually involves the elimination of variables that are not part of the interface of the top-level system. This paper presents algorithms for eliminating variables from formulas by computing refinements or relaxations of these formulas in a context. We discuss a connection between this problem and optimization and give efficient algorithms to compute refinements and relaxations of linear inequality constraints.
