An Empirical Study of QBF Encodings: from Treewidth Estimation to Useful Preprocessing
From an empirical point of view, the hardness of quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs), can be characterized by the (in)ability of current state-of-the-art QBF solvers to decide abo...

Compressing BMC Encodings with QBF
Symbolic model checking is PSPACE complete. Since QBF is the standard PSPACE complete problem, it is most natural to encode symbolic model checking problems as QBF formulas and th...

An Effective QBF Solver for Planning Problems
A large number of applications can be represented by quantified Boolean formulas (QBF). Although evaluating QBF is NP-hard and thus very difficult, there has been significant progr...

Leveraging dominators for preprocessing QBF
— Many CAD for VLSI problems can be naturally encoded as Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) and solved with QBF solvers. Furthermore, such problems often contain circuitbased in...

Bounded Model Checking with QBF
Current algorithms for bounded model checking (BMC) use SAT methods for checking satisfiability of Boolean formulas. These BMC methods suffer from a potential memory explosion prob...

Exploiting structure in an AIG based QBF solver
—In this paper we present a procedure for solving quantified boolean formulas (QBF), which uses And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs) as the core data-structure. We make extensive use of s...
