Objectives and Expected Results
}
\subsection
{
Symbolic solver for quantified bit-vectors
}
I plan to further develop the implemented symbolic
\smt
solver for
quantified bit-vecors Q3B. Besides implementing the proposed
simplifiactions using unconstrained variables, I plan to add support
of uninterpreted functions and theory of arrays, which are highly
desirable for the usage in program verification. I also want to
implement a support for extracting unsatisfiable cores from the
intermediate
\bdds
, which were produced during the computation of the
solver.
Additionally, approximations implemented are right now very simple and
could benefit from better refinement of the approximation in the case
that the current approximation is too coarse.
Moreover, we want to implement other variants of decision diagrams
such as zero-suppressed decision diagrams introduced by ??? and
algebraic decision diagrams introduced by ??? and experimentally
evaluate their effect on the performance of the
\smt
solver.
\subsection
{
Hybrid approach to quantified bit-vectors
}
Although our results with the symbolic
\smt
solver for quantified
bit-vectors look promissing, standard
\smt
solvers still perform
better on simple queries and on queries containing
multiplication. Therefore, I want to develop a hybrid approach to
\smt
solving of quantified bit-vector formulas, which combines strengths of
both of these approaches. For example, a part of the quantified
formula without multiplication can be converted to the
\bdd
, which can
be used to guide the model search in the model-based quantifier
instantiation. One possible way of achieving this is adding
\bdd
based
representation of sets of assignments to the
\mcbv
solver developed by
Zeljić et al. The
\bdd
representation can be added to the current
over-approximations by bit-patterns and arithmetic intervals.
As the part of my PhD study, also an implementation of a proposed
hybrid approach and its evaluation on the representative set of
benchmark is expected.

{
Complexity of BV2
}
As was explained in section ???, the precise complexity of quantified
bit-vector formulas with binary-encoded bit-widths and without
uninterpreted functions is not known. It is known to be in
\EXPSPACE
and to be
\NEXPTIME
-hard. However, a class for which the problem is
complete is not known.

{
Symbolic solver for quantified bit-vectors
}
We also plan to further develop the implemented symbolic
\smt
solver
for quantified bit-vecors Q3B. Besides implementing the proposed
simplifiactions using unconstrained variables, we plan to add support
of uninterpreted functions and theory of arrays to the Q3B. Also used
approximations are right now very simple and could benefit from better
refinement of the approximation in the case that the current
approximat
ion is
too coarse
.
Acording to our investigation, it is probably complete for neither of
those complexity classes. We are working on a proof which shows that
BV2 is complete for the class of problems solvable by the
\emph
{
alternating Turing machine
}
(
\atm
) with the exponential space
and
\emph
{
polynomial number of alternations
}
with respect to log-space
reduction. This class is usually denoted as
\AEXPTIMEp
and is known to
be in between
\EXPSPACE
and
\NEXPTIME
. However, whether any of the
inclus
ion
s
is
proper is not known
.

Expected result is a paper published at an international conference or
in a journal.
