Holistic Rigorous Numerical Verification
My goal is to make rigorous numerical verification widely applicable and practically usable. Rigorous verification proves at compile-time that a program computes for all valid inputs what it is expected to. It is especially important for numerical programs, which are widely used across application domains and are often safety-critical. However, automated verification of numerical programs over finite-precision (e.g. floating-point) numbers is currently limited. Finite precision introduces rounding errors w.r.t. an ideal, real-valued specification and poses unique challenges for verification of program accuracy and other kinds of desirable properties. As a result, verification of non-trivial…
