(Z3Py) checking all solutions for equation

Viewed 9929

In Z3Py, how can I check if equation for given constraints have only one solution?

If more than one solution, how can I enumerate them?

The python function below is a generator of models for formulas that contain both constants and functions.

import itertools
from z3 import *

def models(formula, max=10):
    " a generator of up to max models "
    solver = Solver()
    solver.add(formula)

    count = 0
    while count<max or max==0:
        count += 1

        if solver.check() == sat:
            model = solver.model()
            yield model
            
            # exclude this model
            block = []
            for z3_decl in model: # FuncDeclRef
                arg_domains = []
                for i in range(z3_decl.arity()):
                    domain, arg_domain = z3_decl.domain(i), []
                    for j in range(domain.num_constructors()):
                        arg_domain.append( domain.constructor(j) () )
                    arg_domains.append(arg_domain)
                for args in itertools.product(*arg_domains):
                    block.append(z3_decl(*args) != model.eval(z3_decl(*args)))
            solver.add(Or(block))

x, y = Ints('x y')
F = [x >= 0, x <= 1, y >= 0, y <= 2, y == 2*x]
for m in models(F):
    print(m)

def all_smt(s, initial_terms):
    def block_term(s, m, t):
        s.add(t != m.eval(t))
    def fix_term(s, m, t):
        s.add(t == m.eval(t))
    def all_smt_rec(terms):
        if sat == s.check():
           m = s.model()
           yield m
           for i in range(len(terms)):
               s.push()
               block_term(s, m, terms[i])
               for j in range(i):
                   fix_term(s, m, terms[j])
               yield from all_smt_rec(terms[i:])
               s.pop()   
    yield from all_smt_rec(list(initial_terms))  

This indeed performs quite better from Leonardo's own answer (considering his answer is quite old)

start_time = time.time()
v = [BitVec(f'v{i}',3) for i in range(6)]
models = get_models([Sum(v)==0],8**5)
print(time.time()-start_time)
#211.6482105255127s
start_time = time.time()
s = Solver()
v = [BitVec(f'v{i}',3) for i in range(6)]
s.add(Sum(v)==0)
models = list(all_smt(s,v))
print(time.time()-start_time)
#13.375828742980957s

Splitting the search space into disjoint models creates a huge difference as far as I have observed

The answer given by Himanshu Sheoran cites the paper https://theory.stanford.edu/%7Enikolaj/programmingz3.html#sec-blocking-evaluations

Unfortunately there was a bug in the implementation given in the paper at that time which was quoted in that answer. The function has since been corrected.

For posterity, here's the correct version of the code:

def all_smt(s, initial_terms):
    def block_term(s, m, t):
        s.add(t != m.eval(t, model_completion=True))
    def fix_term(s, m, t):
        s.add(t == m.eval(t, model_completion=True))
    def all_smt_rec(terms):
        if sat == s.check():
           m = s.model()
           yield m
           for i in range(len(terms)):
               s.push()
               block_term(s, m, terms[i])
               for j in range(i):
                   fix_term(s, m, terms[j])
               yield from all_smt_rec(terms[i:])
               s.pop()   
    yield from all_smt_rec(list(initial_terms))
