THE EQUI-PROPAGATION PROCESS
Equi-propagation is a process of inferring equational consequences from a Boolean formula andgiven equational information.
of the form X=L where Lis a constant or a literal:X=Y, X= -Y, X=0, X=1
such X can be removed fromALL
Boolean formulas / constraints.

MODELING FINITE DOMAIN CSPrepresenting numbers (integers)
BinaryNumber X with a domain {0,1,2, …, d} will be represented using b= Boolean variables [ x1,x2,…xb]
Number X = k ↔ = k
UnaryNumber X with a domain {0,1,2, …, d} will be represented using n= Boolean variables.
Order encodingxi ↔ (X ≥ i)
(X = 3) = [1,1,1,0,0]

IMPLEMENTING EQUI-PROPAGATION
1. Using BDD’s. • Prohibitive for global constraints.• Complete
2. Using SAT (on small groups of constraints)• In practice, surprisingly, “not slow”• Complete
3. Ad-Hoc rules (per constraint type)• Fast, precise in practice• Incomplete

Model-Based Diagnosis
MODEL BASED DIAGNOSIS An important problem which researched by
many researches. There is standard benchmarks.
Encoding to SAT is straightforward But previous attempts concluded that SAT
isn’t competitive with other tools. We show that by using BEE, not only SAT is
able to compete with other tools, it is faster. We solve the entire benchmark
for the first time.

We can not “push” the inputs through the circuit because of the health variables.

BETTER MODELING: CONESDef: gate G dominates gate X, if any path from
X to a system output passes through G
Def: the cone corresponding to gate G is the set of gates dominated by G
BETTER MODELING: CONESthese prune the search space
break a symmetry
claim: A minimal cardinality diagnosis willalways indicate at most one unhealthygate per cone. We can assume w.l.o.g.that this gate is the dominator.
(or: in the search for a single minimalcardinality diagnosis, all dominated gates may be assumed healthy)

CONCLUSIONS Equi-Propagation process apply powerful reasoning
techniques to separate parts of the model and maintain efficient preprocessing.
BEE encodes finite domain constraints to CNF uses ad-hoc equi-propagation and partial evaluation rules which keeps compilation times typically small. And the reduction in SAT solving time can be larger in orders of magnitude.
By using BEE the user may focus on better modeling which will result better preprocessing and faster solving time. (MBD as an example)
FUTURE WORK Other number representations
Binary, Mix Radix, RNS, and more… Partition for Complete Equi-Propagation. Additional applications to Model Based
Diagnosis.
