Abstract

Symbolic model checking of various important properties like reachability, containment and equivalence of constraint automata could be unsolvable problems in general. This paper identifies several classes of constraint automata for which these properties can be guaranteed to be solvable by reformulating them as the evaluation problem of solvable or approximately solvable classes of constraint logic problems. The paper also presents rewrite rules to simplify constraint automata and illustrates the techniques on several example control systems.
