In many QBF encodings, sequences of Boolean variables stand for binary representations of integer variables. Examples are state labels in bounded model checking or actions in planning problems. Often not the full possible range is used,…
We present a novel and well automatable approach to formal verification of programs with underspecified semantics, i.e., a language semantics that leaves open the order of certain evaluations. First, we reduce this problem to…
QBFs (quantified boolean formulas), which are a superset of propositional formulas, provide a canonical representation for PSPACE problems. To overcome the inherent complexity of QBF, significant effort has been invested in developing QBF…
We propose two models of random quantified boolean formulas and their natural random disjunctive logic program counterparts. The models extend the standard models of random k-CNF formulas and the Chen-Interian model of random 2QBFs. The…
Quantified Integer Programming (QIP) bridges multiple domains by extending Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) to incorporate general integer variables and linear constraints while also generalizing Integer Programming through variable…
In this paper we show that PSPACE is equal to 4th level in the polynomial hierarchy. We also deduce a lot of important consequences. True quantified Boolean formula is a generalisation of the Boolean Satisfiability Problem, where…
Learning-based methods have gained popularity for training candidate Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) to satisfy the CBF conditions on a finite set of sampled states. However, since the CBF is unknown a priori, it is unclear which sampled…
This is a brief overview on the background behind the test set formulas generated by the QBM tool. After establishing its application context, its formal approach to the generation of QBF formulas and the concrete test set formulas are…
Quantified Answer Set Programming (QASP) extends Answer Set Programming (ASP) by allowing quantification over propositional variables, similar to Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF). In this paper, we interpret models of QASP formulas in…
Discrete-time Control Barrier Functions (DTCBFs) have recently attracted interest for guaranteeing safety and synthesizing safe controllers for discrete-time dynamical systems. This paper addresses the open challenges of verifying candidate…
Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers are now routinely used in the verification of large industrial problems. However, their application in safety-critical domains such as the railways, avionics, and automotive industries requires some form…
The alternation of existential and universal quantifiers in a quantified boolean formula (QBF) generates dependencies among variables that must be respected when evaluating the formula. Dependency schemes provide a general framework for…
The realizability problem in requirements engineering is to determine the existence of an implementation that meets the given formal requirements. A step forward after realizability is proven, is to construct such an implementation…
Boolean function bi-decomposition is ubiquitous in logic synthesis. It entails the decomposition of a Boolean function using two-input simple logic gates. Existing solutions for bi-decomposition are often based on BDDs and, more recently,…
In sharp contrast to classical proof complexity we are currently short of lower bound techniques for QBF proof systems. In this paper we establish the feasible interpolation technique for all resolution-based QBF systems, whether modelling…
Reactive synthesis supports designers by automatically constructing correct hardware from declarative specifications. Synthesis algorithms usually compute a strategy, and then construct a circuit that implements it. In this work, we study…
We give a poly$(s,1/\epsilon)$-query algorithm for testing whether an unknown and arbitrary function $f: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is an $s$-term DNF, in the challenging relative-error framework for Boolean function property testing that was…
We propose to use a DPLL+restart to solve SAT instances by successive simplifications based on the production of clauses that subsume the initial clauses. We show that this approach allows the refutation of pebbling formulae in polynomial…
Diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs) are widely adopted for their outstanding generative fidelity, yet their sampling is computationally demanding. Polynomial-based multistep samplers mitigate this cost by accelerating inference; however,…
The theory of quantifier-free bit-vectors (QF_BV) is of paramount importance in software verification. The standard approach for satisfiability checking reduces the bit-vector problem to a Boolean problem, leveraging the powerful SAT…
