Defining functions on enumeration types in Z3 - z3

I have an enumeration type BoolT that contains Bool and Bot
(declare-datatypes () ((BoolT Bool Bot)))
and I want to define an equality function eq that given two BoolT returns Bot if one of the arguments is Bot, otherwise the equality between the two Bool arguments. However, I am not able to define the actual comparison between the boolean values. Until now I get the function
(define-fun eq ((x1 BoolT) (x2 BoolT)) BoolT
(ite (or (= x1 Bot) (= x2 Bot)) Bot Bool))
while I need something like
(define-fun eq ((x1 BoolT) (x2 BoolT)) BoolT
(ite (or (= x1 Bot) (= x2 Bot)) Bot
(or (and (= x1 true)(= x2 true)) (and (= x1 false)(= x2 false)))
)
or at least a correct definition of the following predicate
(define-fun is-True ((x1 BoolT)) Bool
(ite (= x1 true) true false)
)
Is there a way to model the eq function or the previous predicate on BoolT?

You will need tagged unions in Z3, similar to ML data-types. You can't just take the union of an existing type and included it in a datatype declaration.
So you will need to write something like:
(declare-datatypes () ((BoolT True False Bot)))
or
(declare-datatypes () ((BoolT (mkB (tf B)) Bot) (B True False)))
Then you can write:
(define-fun is-True1 ((x BoolT)) Bool
(= (mkB True) x))
or
(define-fun is-True2 ((x BoolT)) Bool
(and (is-mkB x) (= True (tf x))))
and assert
(declare-const a BoolT)
(assert (is-True2 a))
Declaring (B True False)
automatically declares predicates is-True and is-False
(declare-const b B)
(assert (is-True b))

Z3 returns model not available

If possible I'd like a second opinion on my code.
The constraints of the problem are:
a,b,c,d,e,f are non-zero integers
s1 = [a,b,c] and s2 = [d,e,f] are sets
The sum s1_i + s2_j for i,j = 0..2 has to be a perfect square
I don't understand why but my code returns model not available. Moreover, when commenting out the following lines:
(assert (and (> sqrtx4 1) (= x4 (* sqrtx4 sqrtx4))))
(assert (and (> sqrtx5 1) (= x5 (* sqrtx5 sqrtx5))))
(assert (and (> sqrtx6 1) (= x6 (* sqrtx6 sqrtx6))))
(assert (and (> sqrtx7 1) (= x7 (* sqrtx7 sqrtx7))))
(assert (and (> sqrtx8 1) (= x8 (* sqrtx8 sqrtx8))))
(assert (and (> sqrtx9 1) (= x9 (* sqrtx9 sqrtx9))))
The values for d, e, f are negative. There is no constraint that requires them to do so. I'm wondering if perhaps there are some hidden constraints that sneaked in and mess up the model.
A valid expected solution would be:
a = 3
b = 168
c = 483
d = 1
e = 193
f = 673
Edit: inserting (assert (= a 3)) and (assert (= b 168)) results in the solver finding the correct values. This only puzzles me further.

Nonlinear integer arithmetic is undecidable. This means that there is no decision procedure that can decide arbitrary non-linear integer constraints to be satisfiable. This is what z3 is telling you when it says "unknown" as the answer your query.
This, of course, does not mean that individual cases cannot be answered. Z3 has certain tactics it applies to solve such formulas, but it is inherently limited in what it can handle. Your problem falls into that category: One that Z3 is just not capable of solving.
Z3 has a dedicated NRA (non-linear real arithmetic) tactic that you can utilize. It essentially treats all variables as reals, solves the problem (nonlinear real arithmetic is decidable and z3 can find all algebraic real solutions), and then checks if the results are actually integer. If not, it tries another solution over the reals. Sometimes this tactic can handle non-linear integer problems, if you happen to hit the right solution. You can trigger it using:
(check-sat-using qfnra)
Unfortunately it doesn't solve your particular problem in the time I allowed it to run. (More than 10 minutes.) It's unlikely it'll ever hit the right solution.
You really don't have many options here. SMT solvers are just not a good fit for nonlinear integer problems. In fact, as I alluded to above, there is no tool that can handle arbitrary nonlinear integer problems due to undecidability; but some tools fare better than others depending on the algorithms they use.
When you tell z3 what a and b are, you are essentially taking away much of the non-linearity, and the rest becomes easy to handle. It is possible that you can find a sequence of tactics to apply that solves your original, but such tricks are very brittle in practice and not easily discovered; as you are essentially introducing heuristics into the search and you don't have much control over how that behaves.
Side note: Your script can be improved slightly. To express that a bunch of numbers are all different, use the distinct predicate:
(assert (distinct (a b c)))
(assert (distinct (d e f)))

Guiding z3's proof search

I'm trying to get z3 to work (most of the time) for very simple non-linear integer arithmetic problems. Unfortunately, I've hit a bit of a wall with exponentiation. I want to be able handle problems like x^{a+b+2} = (x * x * x^{a} * x{b}). I only need to handle non-negative exponents.
I tried redefining exponentiation as a recursive function (so that it's just allowed to return 1 for any non-positive exponent) and using a pattern to facilitate z3 inferring that x^{a+b} = x^{a} * x^{b}, but it doesn't seem to work - I'm still timing out.
(define-fun-rec pow ((x!1 Int) (x!2 Int)) Int
(if (<= x!2 0) 1 (* x!1 (pow x!1 (- x!2 1)))))
; split +
(assert (forall ((a Int) (b Int) (c Int))
(! (=>
(and (>= b 0) (>= c 0))
(= (pow a (+ b c)) (* (pow a c) (pow a b))))
:pattern ((pow a (+ b c))))))
; small cases
(assert (forall ((a Int)) (= 1 (pow a 0))))
(assert (forall ((a Int)) (= a (pow a 1))))
(assert (forall ((a Int)) (= (* a a) (pow a 2))))
(assert (forall ((a Int)) (= (* a a a) (pow a 3))))
; Our problem
(declare-const x Int)
(declare-const i Int)
(assert (>= i 0))
; This should be provably unsat, by splitting and the small case for 2
(assert (not (= (* (* x x) (pow x i)) (pow x (+ i 2)))))
(check-sat) ;times out
Am I using patterns incorrectly, is there a way to give stronger hints to the proof search, or an easier way to do achieve what I want?
Pattern (also called triggers) may only contain uninterpreted functions. Since + is an interpreted function, you essentially provide an invalid pattern, in which case virtually anything can happen.
As a first step, I disabled Z3's auto-configuration feature and also MBQI-based quantifier instantiation:
(set-option :auto_config false)
(set-option :smt.mbqi false)
Next, I introduced an uninterpreted plus function and replaced each application of + by plus. That sufficed to make your assertion verify (i.e. yield unsat). You can of course also axiomatise plus in terms of +, i.e.
(declare-fun plus (Int Int) Int)
(assert (forall ((a Int) (b Int))
(! (= (plus a b) (+ a b))
:pattern ((plus a b)))))
but your assertion already verifies without the definitional axioms for plus.

How to compute with Inductive datatypes using Yices and Z3-SMT-LIB

A simple example of computation with inductive datatypes using Yices is:
(define-type T (datatype c1
c2
(c3 val::bool)))
(define x1::T)
(define x2::T)
(assert (/= x1 x2))
(check)
and the corresponding output is:
sat
(= x1 c1)
(= (c3 false) x2)
This example is solved using Z3-SMT-LIB using the following code
(declare-datatypes () ((T c1 ( c3 (T Bool)))))
(declare-fun x1 () T)
(declare-fun x2 () T)
(assert (not (= x2 x1)))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
and the corresponding output is
sat
(model
(define-fun x2 () T (c3 false))
(define-fun x1 () T c1)
)

As it is observed in this example Yices and Z3 produce different results.
The questions are;
How to write the Z3 code with the aim to obtain the same results that are obtained with Yices.
How to obtain all possible models using both Z3 and Yices.
Your example has an infinite number of models.
Z3 and Yices produce different models, but the solutions produced by both of them are correct.
Z3 and Yices use slightly different decision procedures for inductive datatypes. This is why they produce different models. There is no way to force them to always produce the same solution for an input set of assertions that has more than one model.
Regarding enumerating all possible models, we can use the Z3 API. See this post:
Z3: finding all satisfying models

Defining injective functions in Z3

My goal is to define an injective function f: Int -> Term, where Term is some new sort. Having referred to the definition of the injective function, I wrote the following:
(declare-sort Term)
(declare-fun f (Int) Term)
(assert (forall ((x Int) (y Int))
(=> (= (f x) (f y)) (= x y))))
(check-sat)
This causes a timeout. I suspect that this is because the solver tries to validate the assertion for all values in the Int domain, which is infinite.
I also checked that the model described above works for some custom sort instead of Int:
(declare-sort Term)
(declare-sort A)
(declare-fun f (A) Term)
(assert (forall ((x A) (y A))
(=> (= (f x) (f y)) (= x y))))
(declare-const x A)
(declare-const y A)
(assert (and (not (= x y)) (= (f x) (f y))))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
The first question is how to implement the same model for Int sort instead of A. Can solver do this?
I also found the injective function example in the tutorial in multi-patterns section. I don't quite get why :pattern annotation is helpful. So the second question is why :pattern is used and what does it brings to this example particularly.
I am trying this
(declare-sort Term)
(declare-const x Int)
(declare-const y Int)
(declare-fun f (Int) Term)
(define-fun biyect () Bool
(=> (= (f x) (f y)) (= x y)))
(assert (not biyect))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
and I am obtaining this
sat
(model
;; universe for Term:
;; Term!val!0
;; -----------
;; definitions for universe elements:
(declare-fun Term!val!0 () Term)
;; cardinality constraint:
(forall ((x Term)) (= x Term!val !0))
;; -----------
(define-fun y () Int
1)
(define-fun x () Int
0)
(define-fun f ((x!1 Int)) Term
(ite (= x!1 0) Term!val!0
(ite (= x!1 1) Term!val!0
Term!val!0)))
)
What do you think about this
(declare-sort Term)
(declare-fun f (Int) Term)
(define-fun biyect () Bool
(forall ((x Int) (y Int))
(=> (= (f x) (f y)) (= x y))))
(assert (not biyect))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
and the output is
sat
(model
;; universe for Term:
;; Term!val!0
;; -----------
;; definitions for universe elements:
(declare-fun Term!val!0 () Term)
;; cardinality constraint:
(forall ((x Term)) (= x Term!val!0))
;; -----------
(define-fun x!1 () Int 0)
(define-fun y!0 () Int 1)
(define-fun f ((x!1 Int)) Term
(ite (= x!1 0) Term!val!0
(ite (= x!1 1) Term!val!0
Term!val!0)))
)

Can options change `sat` into `unsat`?

Another question from a Z3 newbie. Can options change the behavior of Z3? I might expect them to affect termination, or change sat or unsat into unknown but not sat into unsat or vice versa.
This example:
(set-option :smt.macro-finder true)
(declare-datatypes () ((Option (none) (some (Data Int)))))
(define-sort Set () (Array Option Option))
(declare-fun filter1 (Option) Option)
(declare-fun filter2 (Option) Option)
(declare-var s1 Set)
(declare-var s2 Set)
(declare-var x1 Option)
(declare-var x2 Option)
(declare-var x3 Option)
(declare-var x4 Option)
(assert (not (= x1 none)))
(assert (not (= x2 none)))
(assert (not (= x3 none)))
(assert (not (= x4 none)))
(assert (= (select s1 x1) x2))
(assert (= (select s2 x3) x4))
(assert (forall ((x Option)) (= (filter1 x) (ite (or (= none x) (= (Data x) 1)) x none))))
(assert (forall ((x Option)) (= (filter2 x) (ite (or (= none x) (= (Data x) 2)) x none))))
(assert (= ((_ map filter1) s1) s2))
(assert (= ((_ map filter2) s1) s2))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
returns sat with the first line and unsat without it.
Is this a bug or am I missing something fundamental?
This is a bug. The two quantifiers are essentially providing "definitions" for filter1 and filter2.
The option smt.macro-finder is used to eliminate functions symbols by expanding these definitions. It is essentially performing "macro expansion". However, there is a bug in the macro expander. It does not expand the occurrences of filter1 and filter2 in the map constructs: (_ map filter1) and (_ map filter2).
This bug will be fixed.
In the meantime, we should not use the map construct and smt.macro-finder option simultaneously.
