摘要
结合各种理论的平等决策程序是若干核查系统的核心。R.E.肖斯塔克的《美国计算机学会学报》,第31卷,第31期。(1, pp. 1-12, 1984)在可解理论和可规范理论的结合中,相等的决定程序已经存在了近二十年。该决策程序的变体已在许多规范和验证系统中实现,包括STP, EHDM, PVS, STeP和SVC。该算法相当微妙,其正确性的论证仍然难以捉摸。肖斯塔克的算法和所有以前发表的它的变体产生不完整的决策过程。我们描述了Shostak算法的一个变体,以及终止、健全和完备性的证明。
Decision procedures for equality in a combination of theories are at the core of a number of verification systems. R.E. Shostak's (J. of the ACM, vol. 31, no. 1, pp. 1-12, 1984) decision procedure for equality in the combination of solvable and canonizable theories has been around for nearly two decades. Variations of this decision procedure have been implemented in a number of specification and verification systems, including STP, EHDM, PVS, STeP and SVC. The algorithm is quite subtle and a correctness argument for it has remained elusive. Shostak's algorithm and all previously published variants of it yield incomplete decision procedures. We describe a variant of Shostak's algorithm, along with proofs of termination, soundness and completeness.
