Abstraction-based Satisfiability Solving of Presburger Arithmetic
This white paper presents a new abstraction-based framework for deciding satisfiability of quantifier free Presburger arithmetic formulas. The efficiency of this approach derives from the ability of SAT solvers to extract small unsatisfiable cores, leading to small abstracted formulas. The paper also presents experimental results which suggest that the algorithm...
