Extracting Certificates from Quantified Boolean Formulas
نویسنده
چکیده
A certificate of satisfiability for a quantified boolean formula is a compact representation of one of its models which is used to provide solverindependent evidence of satisfiability. In addition, it can be inspected to gather explicit information about the semantics of the formula. Due to the intrinsic nature of quantified formulas, such certificates demand much care to be efficiently extracted, compactly represented, and easily queried. We show how to solve all these problems.

Extracting and Validating Skolem/Herbrand Function-Based QBF Certificates
Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) allow succinct representations of many real-world problems, e.g., in formal verification, artificial intelligence, or computer-aided design of integrated circuits. Hence, for many practical instances of QBF efficient decision procedures are highly requested. However, in many applications of QBF, it is not sufficient to ”just” solve problems but necessary to pro...
متن کاملProving Valid Quantified Boolean Formulas in HOL Light
This paper describes the integration of Squolem, Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) solver, with the interactive theorem prover HOL Light. Squolem generates certificates of validity which are based on witness functions. The certificates are checked in HOL Light by constructing proofs based on these certificates. The presented approach allows HOL Light users to prove larger valid QBF problems tha...
متن کاملEfficient Extraction of QBF (Counter)models from Long-Distance Resolution Proofs
Many computer science problems can be naturally and compactly expressed using quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs). Evaluating the truth or falsity of a QBF is an important task, and constructing the corresponding model or countermodel can be as important and sometimes even more useful in practice. Modern search and learning based QBF solvers rely fundamentally on resolution and can be instrument...
متن کاملSkolem functions computation for CEGAR based QBF solvers
In this work we propose an approach to extract Skolem-functions from CEGAR based QBF solvers (e.g., RareQS [4]) for true QBF formulas containing 2 or 3 quantification levels. We as well propose some optimizations to improve extracted certificates and perform detailed experimental evaluation.

The logic of Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) is an extension of propositional logic and provides compact encodings of real world problems in various fields of application, e.g., formal verification, reasoning and artificial intelligence. In recent years, the development of efficient decision procedures for QBF has progressed considerably. However, most current state-of-the-art QBF-solvers ret...
