Difference between rational and integer linear arithmetic

Let H := x=2y Æ x=2z+1

If x, y, z are rational variables H is satisfiable (take x=1,y=1/2, z=0)

If x, y, z are integer variables H is unsatisfiable

Interpolation for Integer Linear Equations

F, G be conjuctions of integer linear equations

We show that interpolant for (F,G) is always:An integer linear equation or An integer linear congruence

F := (x = 2y) and G := (x=2z+1)An interpolant is x = 0 (mod 2)

Interpolation Algorithm Step 1

Obtain a proof of unsatisfiability of F Æ G(How to get a contradiction from F Æ G)

F := (30 x + 4y = 2) G := ( y + 5z = 2)F := (30 x + 4y = 2) G := ( y + 5z = 2)

F G

1/5 (30 x + 4y = 2) + 1/5 (y + 5z = 2)


Sum the equations from F according to the proof of unsatisfiability

6 x + 4/5 y = 2/5

4/5 y -2/5 = -6x) 4/5 y – 2/5 is divisible by 6) 4/5 y – 2/5 = 0 (mod 6)) 4y-2=0 (mod 30)


Remove variables not common to F and G

4y - 2 = 0 (mod 30) is an interpolant for (F, G)We have proved the correctness of above algorithm4y - 2 = 0 (mod 30) is an interpolant for (F, G)We have proved the correctness of above algorithm

Integer Linear Congruences

a = b (mod m) iff m divides (a-b)a, b, m can be rational numbers

Integer Linear Congruence: i ai xi = b (mod m)xi are integer variables

Example: 3x+2y+5z = 0 (mod 6)SATISFIABLE (x=2,y=0,z=0)

19

Interpolation for Integer Linear Congruences

F, G be conjuctions of integer linear congruences

We show that interpolant for (F,G) is always:An integer linear congruence

Basic steps same as beforeProof of unsatisfiability is more interesting

20

Proof of Unsatisfiability

Congruences may not hold with rational multipliers9 = 5 (mod 2). But 9/4 ≠ 5/4 (mod 2)

We show get a proof of unsatisfiabilityWith integer multipliers for equationsCongruence hold with integer multipliers

21

Proof of Unsatisfiability for Congruences

2x + 2y = 4 (mod 8) Æ

2x + y = 4 (mod 8) Æ

4x = 4 (mod 8)

2x + 2y = 4 (mod 8) Æ

2x + y = 4 (mod 8) Æ

4x = 4 (mod 8)

2 (2x + 2y = 4) (mod 8) +

-4 (2x + y = 4) (mod 8) +

1 (4x = 4) (mod 8)

0 = -4 (mod 8)

2 (2x + 2y = 4) (mod 8) +

-4 (2x + y = 4) (mod 8) +

1 (4x = 4) (mod 8)

0 = -4 (mod 8)

Predicate Discoveryvoid main() { int x=0, y=0;

while(*) { x = x + 4*nondet(); y = y + 8*nondet();

assert(x+y != 1); assert(x+y != 2); assert(x+y != 3); }}

while(*) { x = x + 4*nondet(); y = y + 8*nondet();

assert(x+y != 1); assert(x+y != 2); assert(x+y != 3); }}

Loop invariant:

x+y is divisible by 4 That is, x+y=0 (mod 4)

C program

Such predicates can be found using our interpolation algorithms
