Abstract
In this paper we present a procedure for solving quantified boolean formulas (QBF), which uses And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs) as the core data-structure. We make extensive use of structural information extracted from the input formula such as functional definitions of variables and non-linear quantifier structures. We show how this information can directly be exploited by the symbolic, AIG based representation. We implemented a prototype QBF solver based on our ideas and performed a number of experiments proving the effectiveness of our approach, and moreover, showing that our method is able to solve QBF instances on which state-of-the-art QBF solvers known from literature fail.
