A Practical Integration of First - Order Reasoningand Decision Procedures ? In

چکیده

We present a procedure for proving the validity of rst-order formulas in the presence of decision procedures for an interpreted subset of the language. The procedure is designed to be practical: formulas can have large complex boolean structure, and include structure sharing in the form of let-expressions. The decision procedures are only required to decide the unsatissability of sets of literals. However, T-refuting substitutions are used whenever they can be computed; we show how this can be done for a theory of partial orders and equality. The procedure has been implemented as part of STeP, a tool for the formal veriication of reactive systems. Although the procedure is incomplete, it eliminates the need for user interaction in the proof of many veriication conditions.

Target setting in the process of merging and restructuring of decision-making units using multiple objective linear programming

This paper presents a novel approach to achieving the goals of data envelopment analysis in the process of reconstruction and integration of decision-making units by using multiple objective linear programming. In this regard, first, we review inverse data envelopment analysis models for data reconstruction and integration. We present a model with multi-objective linear programming structure in...

Comparison of two integration schemes for a micropolar plasticity model

Micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. An essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. Efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of int...

Tool Building Requirements for an API to First-Order Solvers

Effective formal verification tools require that robust implementations of automatic procedures for first-order logic and satisfiability modulo theories be integrated into expressive interactive frameworks for logical deduction, such as higher-order logic theorem provers. This paper states some pragmatic requirements for implementations of decision procedures that make them well-suited to integ...
