Abstract

Model checking is widely used in verifying properties of concurrent systems. As an improvement, symbolic model checking uses OBDDs to alleviate the state explosion problem. However, the size of OBDDs greatly increases with the system becoming larger and more complex. In symbolic computation Wu's method is efficient to solve algebraic equations, and has succeeded in geometry theorem proving. In this paper, we present a framework to apply Wu's method to symbolic model checking. Briefly, symbolic model checking is carried out by using Wu's method to calculate the characteristic sets of polynomials that represent Kripke structures as well as CTL formulas. This is a new approach to model checking, and is a new successful application of Wu's method.
