Model Counting: A New Strategy for Obtaining Good Bounds
Model counting is the classical problem of computing the number of solutions of a given propositional formula. It vastly generalizes the NP-complete problem of propositional satis...

Counting CSP Solutions Using Generalized XOR Constraints
We present a general framework for determining the number of solutions of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with a high precision. Our first strategy uses additional binary...

Short XORs for Model Counting: From Theory to Practice
Abstract. A promising approach for model counting was recently introduced, which in theory requires the use of large random xor or parity constraints to obtain near-exact counts of...

Deduction with XOR Constraints in Security API Modelling
We introduce XOR constraints, and show how they enable a theorem prover to reason effectively about security critical subsystems which employ bitwise XOR. Our primary case study is...
