Improving Pushdown System Model Checking
Akash Lal and Thomas Reps
In this paper, we reduce pushdown system (PDS) model checking to a
graph-theoretic problem, and apply a fast graph algorithm to improve the
running time for model checking. We use weighted PDSs as a
generalized setting for PDS model checking, and show how various PDS
model checkers can be encoded using weighted PDSs. We also give
algorithms for witness tracing, differential propagation, and
incremental analysis, each of which benefits from the fast graph-based
algorithm.
