Presburger Arithmetic with algebraic scalar multiplications

نویسندگان

چکیده

We consider Presburger arithmetic (PA) extended by scalar multiplication an algebraic irrational number $\alpha$, and call this extension $\alpha$-Presburger ($\alpha$-PA). show that the complexity of deciding sentences in $\alpha$-PA is substantially harder than PA. Indeed, when $\alpha$ quadratic $r\geq 4$, with $r$ alternating quantifier blocks at most $c\ r$ variables inequalities requires space least $K 2^{\cdot^{\cdot^{\cdot^{2^{C\ell(S)}}}}}$ (tower height $r-3$), where constants $c, K, C>0$ only depend on $\ell(S)$ length given sentence $S$. Furthermore $\exists^{6}\forall^{4}\exists^{11}$ $k$ PSPACE-hard, another constant depending on~$\alpha$. When non-quadratic, already four suffice for undecidability sentences.

Weakening Presburger Arithmetic

We consider logics on Z and N which are weaker than Presburger Arithmetic and we settle the following decision problem: given a k-ary relation on Z and N which is first order definable in Presburger Arithmetic, is it definable in these weaker logics? These logics, intuitively, are obtained in two different ways. First by introducing modulo and threshold counting predicates on the difference of ...

Interpolating Quantifier-Free Presburger Arithmetic

Craig interpolation has become a key ingredient in many symbolic model checkers, serving as an approximative replacement for expensive quantifier elimination. In this paper, we focus on an interpolating decision procedure for the full quantifier-free fragment of Presburger Arithmetic, i.e., linear arithmetic over the integers, a theory which is a good fit for the analysis of software systems. I...

Definable Types in Presburger Arithmetic

We consider the first order theory of (Z,+, <), also known as Presburger arithmetic. We prove a characterization of definable types in terms of prime models over realizations, which has a similar flavor to the Marker-Steinhorn Theorem of o-minimality. We also prove that a type over a model is definable if and only if it has a unique coheir to any elementary extension, which is a characterizatio...

Rigid models of Presburger arithmetic

We present a description of rigid models of Presburger arithmetic (i.e., Z-groups). In particular, we show that Presburger arithmetic has rigid models of all infinite cardinalities up to the continuum, but no larger.

Reflecting Linear Arithmetic: From Dense Linear Orders to Presburger Arithmetic

This talk presents reflected quantifier elimination procedures for both integer and real linear arithmetic. Reflection means that the algorithms are expressed as recursive functions on recursive data types inside some logic (in our case HOL), are verified in that logic, and can then be applied to the logic itself. After a brief overview of reflection we will discuss a number of quantifier elimi...
