Abstract

Bit-vector theories with concatenation and extraction have been shown to be useful and important for hardware verification. We have implemented an extended theory which includes arithmetic. Although deciding equality in such a theory is NP-hard, our implementation is efficient for many practical examples. We believe this to be the first such implementation which is efficient, automatic, and complete.
