(LaTeX) Abstract:

      We present a new approach to hardware verification based on describing
      circuits in Monadic Second-order Logic (MSL). We show how to use
      this logic to represent generic designs like $n$-bit adders, which are
      parameterized in space, and sequential circuits, where time is an
      unbounded parameter. MSL admits a decision procedure, implemented in
      the MONA tool, which reduces formulas to canonical automata.

      The decision problem for MSL is non-elementary decidable and
      thus unlikely to be usable in practice. However, we have used
      MONA to automatically verify, or find errors in, a number of
      circuits studied in the literature. Previously published machine
      proofs of the same circuits are based on deduction and may involve
      substantial interaction with the user. Moreover, our approach is
      orders of magnitude faster for the examples considered. We show why
      the underlying computations are feasible and how our use of
      MONA generalizes standard BDD-based hardware reasoning.
