symbolic model checking

Symbolic model checking is a technique used in computer science to verify that a system, like software or hardware, behaves correctly according to certain specifications. Instead of checking each possible state of the system one by one, which can be impractical for complex systems, it uses mathematical representations (like binary decision diagrams) to represent a large number of states simultaneously. This allows it to efficiently determine whether certain properties or behaviors hold true for all possible scenarios, ensuring the system is robust and free from errors.
