Abstract

V originále

Dependency graphs, invented by Liu and Smolka in 1998, are oriented graphs with hyperedges that represent dependencies among the values of the vertices. Numerous model checking problems are reducible to a computation of the minimum fixed-point vertex assignment. Recent works successfully extended the assignments in dependency graphs from the Boolean domain into more general domains in order to speed up the fixed-point computation or to apply the formalism to a more general setting of e.g. weighted logics. All these extensions require separate correctness proofs of the fixed-point algorithm as well as a one-purpose implementation. We suggest the notion of abstract dependency graphs where the vertex assignment is defined over an abstract algebraic structure of Noetherian partial orders with the least element. We show that existing approaches are concrete instances of our general framework and provide an open-source C++ library that implements the abstract algorithm. We demonstrate that the performance of our generic implementation is comparable to, and sometimes even outperforms, dedicated special-purpose algorithms presented in the literature.
