Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Model checking technique, which is a method to verify systems automatically, have attracted attentions. Model checking, however, cannot be applied to systems which are large or complicated. To handle this problem, abstraction techniques using a subset of first-order logic, called EUF, have been proposed, but a model checking using EUF is generally undecidable. In this report, we introduce a method to terminate state enumeration by using term-height reduction. Finally we show an overapproximate algorithm which can check if a designated invariant always holds for the system. Furthermore, we show an example of application of our algorithm to simple hardware designs.
