Abstract

When specifying graph languages via type graphs, cores are a convenient way to minimize the type graph without changing the graph language, i.e. the set of graphs typed over the type graph. However, given a type graph, the problem of finding its core is NP-hard. Using the Tool CoReS, we automatically encode all required properties into SAT- and SMT-formulas to iteratively compute cores by employing the corresponding solvers. We obtain runtime results to evaluate and compare the two encoding approaches.
