A Model-Constructing Satisfiability Calculus

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 7737))

Abstract

We present a new calculus where recent model-based decision procedures and techniques can be justified and combined with the standard DPLL(T) approach to satisfiability modulo theories. The new calculus generalizes the ideas found in CDCL-style propositional SAT solvers to the first-order setting.
