Formal Methods in System Design Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper we present HySAT, a bounded model checker for linear hybrid systems, incorporating a tight integration of a DPLL–based pseudo–Boolean SAT solver and a linear programming routine as core engine. In contrast to related tools like MathSAT, ICS, or CVC, our tool exploits the various optimizations that arise naturally in the bounded model checking context, e.g.isomorphic replication of learned conflict clauses or tailored decision strategies, and extends them to the hybrid domain. We demonstrate that those optimizations are crucial to the performance of the tool.
