Applying CNF simplification techniques for SAT-based abstraction refinement

摘要

The present embodiment keeps track of a set of resolution required for generating each one of the clauses added by the simplification method. This information is used by the method that generates the unsat core in order to extract the original clauses that generated the simplified clauses. This work integrates resolution based CNF simplification technique inside the SAT-based abstraction refinement scheme in a unique way that overcomes the difficulties.
