Abstract

The clausal logical consequences of a formula are called its implicates. The generation of these implicates has several applications, such as the identification of missing hypotheses in a logical specification. We present a procedure that generates the implicates of a quantifier-free formula modulo a theory. No assumption is made on the considered theory, other than the existence of a decision procedure. The algorithm has been implemented (using the solvers MiniSAT, CVC4 and Z3) and experimental results show evidence of the practical relevance of the proposed approach.

Fußnoten
1
Note that this ordering is not necessarily related to the ordering \(\prec \) on clauses.
 
2
A refined comparison of the set of generated \((\mathcal{T},\mathcal{A})\)-implicates modulo theory entailment is left for future work.
