摘要： Candidate invariants are selected from a proof of a property. In some exemplary embodiments, a proof of a property with respect to a bounded model having a bounded number of cycles may be obtained. The bounded model may comprise an initial axiom and a transition relation axiom. The proof of the property is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Each non-leaf node of the DAG is deducible from its child nodes. A root of the DAG is the property. Leaves of the DAG are associated with an axiom of the bounded model. A set of candidate invariants may be selected from the DAG. A subset of the set of candidates may be determined such that the subset comprises invariants which are held during each cycle of an unbounded model, wherein the unbounded model is an unbounded version of the bounded model. The invariants may be utilized for model checking of the unbounded model.

摘要： An UNSAT core may be reused during iterations of a bounded model checking process. When increasing the bound, signals corresponding to signals within the UNSAT core may be used to represent the functionality of the model during cycles between the original bound and the increased bound. In case, consecutive unsatisfiability is determined in respect to different bounds, the same UNSAT core may be reused instead of computing a new UNSAT core.

摘要翻译： 在有限模型检查过程的迭代期间，可以重新使用UNSAT核心。 当增加绑定时，对应于UNSAT核心内的信号的信号可以用于在原始绑定和增加绑定之间的周期期间表示模型的功能。 在不同界限下确定连续的不满足性的情况下，可以重复使用相同的UNSAT核心，而不是计算新的UNSAT核心。
