Abstract: . We describe a new heuristic for detecting bad cycles (reachable cycles that are not confined within one or another designated sets of model states), a fundamental operation for model-checking algorithms. It is a variation on a standard implementation of the Emerson-Lei algorithm, which our experimental data suggests can result in a significant speed-up for verification runs that pass. We conclude that this heuristic can be used to advantage on "mature" designs for which the anticipated result ... (Update)
