Title
Reusing Search Tree for Incremental SAT Solving of Temporal Induction
Abstract
Temporal induction is a SAT-based model checking technique. We prove that the SAT instances generated by its induction rule can be reduced to the so called Incremental CNFs. A new DPLL procedure is customized for Incremental CNFs, so that the intermediate results in solving previous instances, including the learnt clauses and the search tree, can be reused in solving the next instance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result on reusing the search tree in SAT solving of temporal induction. Experimental results on a large number of benchmarks show significant performance gain of our approach.
