Computable fixpoints in well-structured symbolic model checking
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove a general finite-time convergence theorem for fixpoint expressions over a well-quasi-ordered set. This has immediate applications for the verification of well-structured systems, where a main issue is the computability of fixpoint expressions, and in particular for game-theoretical properties and probabilistic systems where nesting and alternation of least and greatest fixpoints are common.

متن کاملPolynomial Approximations for Model Checking
The μ-Calculus of D.Kozen (1983) is a very powerful propositional program logic with fixpoints. It is widely used for specification and verification. Model checking is a very popular automatic approach for verification of specifications of finite state systems. The most efficient algorithms that have been developed so far for model checking the μ-Calculus in finite state systems have exponentia...
متن کاملOn Computing Fixpoints in Well-Structured Regular Model Checking, with Applications to Lossy Channel Systems
We prove a general finite convergence theorem for “upward-guarded” fixpoint expressions over a well-quasi-ordered set. This has immediate applications in regular model checking of well-structured systems, where a main issue is the eventual convergence of fixpoint computations. In particular, we are able to directly obtain several new decidability results on lossy channel systems.
متن کاملModel Checking Value-Passing Processes
An algorithm for model checking value-passing processes is presented. Processes are modeled as symbolic transition graphs with assignments. To specify properties for such processes a graphical predicate mu-calculus is introduced. It allows arbitrary nesting of the least and greatest fixpoints, and contains the propositional mu-calculus as a proper subset. The algorithm instantiates input variab...
متن کاملApplications of Fuzzy Program Graph in Symbolic Checking of Fuzzy Flip-Flops
All practical digital circuits are usually a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. Flip–flops are essential to sequential logic therefore fuzzy flip–flops are considered to be among the most essential topics of fuzzy digital circuit. The concept of fuzzy digital circuit is among the most interesting applications of fuzzy sets and logic due to the fact that if there has to be an ultimat...
