Circuit Based Quantification: Back to State Set Manipulation within Unbounded Model Checking
Gianpiero Cabodi, M. Crivellari, Sergio Nocco, Stefano Quer · Design, Automation, and Test in Europe · 2005
A non-canonical circuit-based state set representation is used to perform quantifier elimination efficiently. The novelty of this approach lies in adapting equivalence checking and logic synthesis techniques to the goal of compacting circuit based state set representations resulting from existential quantification. The method can be efficiently combined with other verification approaches such as inductive and SAT-based pre-image verifications.
