Effective quantifier elimination for industrial applications

Published:23 July 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this tutorial, we will give an overview of typical algorithms of quantifier elimination over the reals and illustrate their actual applications in industry. Some recent research results on computational efficiency improvement of quantifier elimination algorithms, in particular for solving practical industrial problems, will be also mentioned. Moreover, we will briefly explain valuable techniques and tips to effectively utilize quantifier elimination in practice.
