One of the differences between QCDCL and propositional CDCL is that QCDCL typically follows the prefix order of the QBF for making decisions. We investigate an alternative model for QCDCL solving where decisions can be made in arbitrary order. The resulting system <span> <span>(textsf{QCDCL}^textsf {{Atiny {MakeUppercase {ny}}}})</span> </span> is still sound and terminating, but does not necessarily allow to always learn asserting clauses or cubes. To address this potential drawback, we additionally introduce two subsystems that guarantee to always learn asserting clauses (<span> <span>(textsf{QCDCL}^textsf {{Utiny {MakeUppercase {ni}}-Atiny {MakeUppercase {ny}}}})</span> </span>) and asserting cubes (<span> <span>(textsf{QCDCL}^textsf {{Etiny {MakeUppercase {xi}}-Atiny {MakeUppercase {ny}}}})</span> </span>), respectively.

Taking advantage of the computational aspect of this approach, we automatically compute by saturation the ranks of all sets of the powerset of the points of the geometric configuration we consider. Upon completion of the saturation phase, our prover then retraces the proof process and generates the corresponding Coq code. This code is then formally checked by the Coq proof assistant, thus ensuring that the proof is actually correct.

Indeed, numerical algorithms generally constitute approximations of an ideal mathematical model, which itself constitutes an approximation of a physical reality which has undergone multiple measurement errors. To this are added rounding errors due to computer arithmetic implementations, often neglected even if they can significantly distort the results obtained. This applies to Runge–Kutta methods used for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations, that are ubiquitous to model fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, biology or economy. We provide a Coq formalization of the rounding error analysis of Runge–Kutta methods applied to linear systems and implemented in floating-point arithmetic. We propose a generic methodology to build a bound on the error accumulated over the iterations, taking gradual underflow into account. We then instantiate this methodology for two classic Runge–Kutta methods, namely Euler and RK2. The formalization of the results include the definition of matrix norms, the proof of rounding error bounds of matrix operations and the formalization of the generic results and their applications on examples. In order to support the proposed approach, we provide numerical experiments on examples coming from nuclear physics applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":15082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Automated Reasoning","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138547562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
