What is Decision Procedures: An Algorithmic Point of View (2nd ed.) about?

discovered on [SAT Live](https://www.satlive.org/) recommended by [C Bounded Model Checker (CBMC)](https://www.cprover.org/cbmc/)'s [Systems Verification Group](https://www.cprover.org/) * * * A decision procedure is an algorithm that, given a decision problem, terminates with a correct yes/no answer. Here, the authors focus on theories that are expressive enough to model real problems, but are still decidable. Specifically, the book concentrates on decision procedures for first-order theories that are commonly used in automated verification and reasoning, theorem-proving, compiler optimization and operations research. The techniques described in the book draw from fields such as graph theory and logic, and are routinely used in industry. The authors introduce the basic terminology of SAT, Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) and the DPLL( *T* ) framework. Then, in separate chapters, they study decision procedures for propositional logic; equalities and uninterpreted functions; linear arithmetic; bit vectors; arrays; pointer logic; and quantified formulas. They also study the problem of deciding combined theories based on the Nelson-Oppen procedure. The first edition of this book w
