Abstract




We present an encoding that is able to specify LTL bounded model
checking problems within the Bernays-Schönfinkel fragment of
first-order logic. This fragment, which also corresponds to the
category of effectively propositional problems (EPR) of the CASC
system competitions, allows a natural and succinct representation of
both a software/hardware system and the property that one wants to
verify.

This is part of the research I did during my PhD studies at the
University of Manchester, which deals with finding problems suitable
for encoding within the effectively propositional class of formulas, and
aims to encourage the interest on theorem proving in this restricted
fragment of first order logic.
