Abstract
© The Author(s) 2018. We propose δ -complete decision procedures for solving satisfiability of nonlinear SMT problems over real numbers that contain universal quantification and a wide range of nonlinear functions. The methods combine interval constraint propagation, counterexample-guided synthesis, and numerical optimization. In particular, we show how to handle the interleaving of numerical and symbolic computation to ensure delta-completeness in quantified reasoning. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can handle various challenging global optimization and control synthesis problems that are beyond the reach of existing solvers.
