Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...
—Functional simulation is still the primary workhorse for verifying the functional correctness of hardware designs. Functional verification is necessarily incomplete because it i...
— Semi-formal verification based on symbolic simulation offers a good compromise between formal model checking and numerical simulation. The generation of functional test vector...

In formal verification, we verify that a system is correct with respect to a specification. Even when the system is proven to be correct, there is still a question of how complete ...
