Abstract

The logic of Counters, Lambdas, and Uninterpreted functions (CLU) is a subset of first-order logic satisfying the twin properties that 1) the validity of a CLU formula can be decided by generating a Boolean formula and using a Boolean satisfiability (SAT) checker to show the formula is unsatisfiable, and 2) it has sufficient expressive power to construct models of a variety of interesting software and hardware systems. We describe this logic and show its modeling capabilities.
