Find logical conditions for 2 formulas to be equivalent? - z3

Question

I posted a related question, but then I think it was not very clear. I would like to rephrase the problem like this:
Two formulas a1 == a + b (1) and a1 == b (2) are equivalent if a == 0. Given these formulas (1) and (2), how can I use Z3 python to find out this required condition (a == 0) so the above formulas become equivalent?
I suppose that a1, a and b are all in the format of BitVecs(32).
Edit: I came up with the code like this:
from z3 import *
a, b = BitVecs('a b', 32)
a1 = BitVec('a1', 32)
s = Solver()
s.add(ForAll(b, a + b == b))
if s.check() == sat:
print 'a =', s.model()[a]
else:
print 'Not Equ'
The output is: a = 0, as expected.
However, when I modified the code a bit to use two formulas, it doesnt work anymore:
from z3 import *
a, b = BitVecs('a b', 32)
a1 = BitVec('a1', 32)
f = True
f = And(f, a1 == a * b)
g = True
g = And(g, a1 == b)
s = Solver()
s.add(ForAll(b, f == g))
if s.check() == sat:
print 'a =', s.model()[a]
else:
print 'Not Equ'
The output now is different: a = 1314914305
So the questions are:
(1) Why the second code produces different (wrong) result?
(2) Is there any way to do this without using ForAll (or quantifier) at all?
Thanks

Answer 1

The two codes produce the same correct answer a = 0. You have a typo: you are writing
a1 = a*b and it must be a1 = a + b . Do you agree?
Possible code without using ForAll:
a, b = BitVecs('a b', 32)
a1 = BitVec('a1', 32)
s = Solver()
s.add(a + b == b)
if s.check() == sat:
print 'a =', s.model()[a]
else:
print 'Not Equ'
s1 = Solver()
s1.add(a==0, Not(a + b == b))
print s1.check()
Output:
a = 0
