Local Theory Extensions, Hierarchical Reasoning and Applications to Verification
2007
We present some new results on hierarchical and modular reasoning in complex theories, as well as several examples of application domains in which efficient reasoning is possible. ...
We show, in particular, that various phenomena analyzed in the verification literature can be explained in a unified way using the notion of local theory extension. ...

Deciding Local Theory Extensions via E-matching
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We have used two SMT solvers to implement this algorithm and conducted an extensive experimental evaluation on benchmarks derived from verification conditions for heap-manipulating programs. ...
In this work, we show how SMT solvers can be used to obtain complete decision procedures for local theory extensions, an important class of theories that are decidable using finite instantiation of axioms ...

Constraint solving for interpolation
2010
Journal of symbolic computation
We propose an algorithm for the generation of interpolants for the combined theory of linear arithmetic and uninterpreted function symbols that does not require a priori constructed proofs to derive interpolants ...
Interpolation is an important component of recent methods for program verification. It provides a natural and effective means for computing separation between the sets of 'good' and 'bad' states. ...
