چکیده

A variety of techniques have been introduced over the last decade for abstracting search graphs and then using these abstractions for search. While some basic work has been done to predict the value of an abstraction mechanism, the results have not been validated in practice. In this paper we analyze a variety of old and new abstraction mechanisms in a pathfinding testbed and show that the work done in abstraction-based refinement-style search can be predicted by the diameter and size of abstract nodes.

An Abstraction-Refinement Methodology for Reasoning about Network Games

Network games (NGs) are played on directed graphs and are extensively used in network design and analysis. Search problems for NGs include finding special strategy profiles such as a Nash equilibrium and a globally optimal solution. The networks modeled by NGs may be huge. In formal verification, abstraction has proven to be an extremely effective technique for reasoning about systems with big ...

Design Verification for Sequential Systems at Various Abstraction Levels

ion and Refinement for Design Verification at Logic Level Abstraction refinement has recently emerged as an enabling technology for applying model checking techniques to large real-life designs. Previous techniques for abstraction refinement work on static abstractions, in that the abstract model produced by the abstraction algorithm is not modified by the downstream model checking. We propose ...

Abstraction Refinement for Termination

ion Refinement for Termination⋆ Byron Cook, Andreas Podelski, and Andrey Rybalchenko 1 Microsoft Research, Cambridge 2 Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken Abstract. Abstraction can often lead to spurious counterexamples. Counterexample-guided abstraction refinement is a method of strengthening abstractions based on the analysis of these spurious counterexamples. For invariance prope...

Counterexample Guided Abstraction Refinement for Stability Analysis

In this paper, we present a counterexample guided abstraction refinement (Cegar) algorithm for stability analysis of polyhedral hybrid systems. Our results build upon a quantitative predicate abstraction and model-checking algorithm for stability analysis, which returns a counterexample indicating a potential reason for instability. The main contributions of this paper include the validation of...

Transformation and Refinement of Rigid Structures

Stochastic rule-based models of networks and biological systems are hard to construct and analyse. Refinements help to produce systems at the right level of abstraction, enable analysis techniques and mappings to other formalisms. Rigidity is a property of graphs introduced in Kappa to support stochastic refinement, allowing to preserve the number of matches for rules in the refined system. In ...
