Abstract: Predicate abstraction is a useful form of abstraction for the veri cation of transition systems with large or in nite state spaces. One of the main bottlenecks of this approach is the extremely large number of decision procedures calls that are required to construct the abstract state space. In this paper we propose the use of a symbolic decision procedure and its application for predicate abstraction. The advantage of the approach is that it reduces the number of calls to the decision... (Update)
