  3. Concise reason for malfunction

  4. “Word-Level” reason for malfunction

  5. Craig-Interpolant • Explains inconsistency of two formulas • in terms of the symbols shared by both formulas x == y x == y && z != x x > y • Can be extracted from cut-free proofs • Applications in verification: • image approximation in model checking • refinement predicates for predicate abstraction

  6. Proof-constructing decision procedures • Efficient decision procedures available • often based on bit-blasting (eager or lazy) • we use range encoding (Pnueli et al., 2002) • does not provide interpolants • SAT solver provides resolution proof • compute bit-level interpolant in polynomial time

  7. Example: Bit-blasting of equality logic proof space resolution proof

  8. Lifting propositional resolution proofs lift

  9. Lifting Leaf Nodes • Introduce word-level facts based on structure of bit-level encoding

  10. Lifting inner nodes • Based on structure of resolution proof • Uses decision procedure for equality logic • McMillan’s technique to compute WL-Interpolant

  11. Conclusion • Extract interpolant from lifted word-level proof • Performance mainly determined by bit-blasting decision procedure • Future work: Extend technique to bit-vector logic
