Solvers & Results ¶

Simple Solving ¶

cvc5.pythonic. solve ( * args , ** kwargs ) ¶

Solve the constraints *args .

This is a simple function for creating demonstrations. It creates a solver, configure it using the options in kwargs , adds the constraints in args , and invokes check.

              >>> a = Int('a')
>>> solve(a > 0, a < 2)
[a = 1]
>>> solve(a > 0, a < 2, show=True)
Problem:
[a > 0, a < 2]
Solution:
[a = 1]

             

cvc5.pythonic. solve_using ( s , * args , ** kwargs ) ¶

Solve the constraints *args using solver s .

This is a simple function for creating demonstrations. It is similar to solve , but it uses the given solver s . It configures solver s using the options in kwargs , adds the constraints in args , and invokes check.

              >>> a = Int('a')
>>> s = Solver()
>>> solve_using(s, a > 0, a < 2)
[a = 1]
>>> solve_using(s, a != 1, show=True)
Problem:
[a > 0, a < 2, a != 1]
no solution

             

cvc5.pythonic. prove ( claim , ** keywords ) ¶

Try to prove the given claim.

This is a simple function for creating demonstrations. It tries to prove claim by showing the negation is unsatisfiable.

              >>> p, q = Bools('p q')
>>> prove(Not(And(p, q)) == Or(Not(p), Not(q)))
proved
>>> prove(p == True)
counterexample
[p = False]
>>> prove(p == True, show=True)
[Not(p == True)]
counterexample
[p = False]

             

The Solver Class ¶

cvc5.pythonic. SolverFor ( logic , ctx = None , logFile = None ) ¶

                >>> x = Int('x')
>>> s = SimpleSolver()

reset ( ) ¶

Fully reset the solver. This actually destroys the solver object in the context and recreates this. This invalidates all objects created within this context and using them will most likely crash.

>>> s
[x > 0]
>>> s.resetAssertions()
>>> s
[]

               

set ( * args , ** kwargs ) ¶

Set an option on the solver. Wraps setOption() .

                >>> main_ctx().reset()
>>> s = Solver()
>>> s.set(incremental=True)
>>> s.set('incremental', 'true')

               

setOption ( name = None , value = None , ** kwargs ) ¶

Set options on the solver. Options can either be set via the name and value arguments in the form setOption('foo', 'bar') , or as keyword arguments using the syntax setOption(foo='bar') . The option value is passed as a string internally. Boolean values are properly converted manually, all other types are convertes using str() .

                >>> main_ctx().reset()
>>> s = Solver()
>>> s.setOption('incremental', True)
>>> s.setOption(incremental='true')

                >>> x = Int('x')
>>> s = Solver()
>>> s.add(x > 0)
>>> s.add(x < 2)
>>> r = s.sexpr()
