Question 1

Design a formal verification plan for a VLSI circuit that includes equivalence checking, theorem proving, and assertion-based verification. Describe how you would implement each method and the benefits of using all three together.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how each method addresses different aspects of verification.

Question 2

Discuss how the state explosion problem affects formal verification techniques and propose strategies to mitigate this issue in practice.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both structural design solutions and algorithmic approaches to tackle state explosion.
