چکیده

This paper describes the Vinter tool for extracting interpolants from proofs and minimising such interpolants using various measures. Vinter takes an input problem written in either SMT-LIB or TPTP syntax, generates so called local proofs and then uses a technique of playing in the grey areas of proofs to find interpolants minimal with respect to various measures. Proofs are found using either Z3 or Vampire, solving pseudo-boolean optimisation is delegated to Yices, while localising proofs and generating minimal interpolants is done by Vampire. We describe the use of Vinter and give experimental results on problems from bounded model checking.

Interpolation and Symbol Elimination in Vampire

It has recently been shown that proofs in which some symbols are colored (e.g. local or split proofs and symbol-eliminating proofs) can be used for a number of applications, such as invariant generation and computing interpolants. This tool paper describes how such proofs and interpolant generation are implemented in the first-order theorem prover Vampire.

Tree Interpolation in Vampire

We describe new extensions of the Vampire theorem prover for computing tree interpolants. These extensions generalize Craig interpolation in Vampire, and can also be used to derive sequence interpolants. We evaluated our implementation on a large number of examples over the theory of linear integer arithmetic and integer-indexed arrays, with and without quantifiers. When compared to other metho...

First-Order Theorem Proving and Vampire

In this paper we give a short introduction in first-order theorem proving and the use of the theorem prover VAMPIRE. We discuss the superposition calculus and explain the key concepts of saturation and redundancy elimination, present saturation algorithms and preprocessing, and demonstrate how these concepts are implemented in VAMPIRE. Further, we also cover more recent topics and features of V...

A new trust-region algorithm based on radial basis function interpolation

Optimization using radial basis functions as an interpolation tool in trust-region (ORBIT), is a derivative-free framework based on fully linear models to solve unconstrained local optimization, especially when the function evaluations are computationally expensive. This algorithm stores the interpolation points and function values to using at subsequent iterations. Despite the comparatively ad...

Invariant Generation in Vampire

This paper describes a loop invariant generator implemented in the theorem prover Vampire. It is based on the symbol elimination method proposed by two authors of this paper. The generator accepts a program written in a subset of C, finds loops in it, analyses the loops, generates and outputs invariants. It also uses a special consequence removal mode added to Vampire to remove invariants impli...
