Try these first

  1. 1.

    What is the state explosion problem?

    Hint

    Think about what happens as a design becomes more complex.

  2. 2.

    What does abstraction do?

    Hint

    What would make a design easier to analyze?

  3. 3.

    What is a significant challenge in formal verification?
