Module Abstract

This module performs the abstraction of expressions. Depending on the criteria used for abstractions, this module comes to a decision if parts of the given expressions should be further evaluated. This part is crucial to ensure termination of the whole process.

Note: In contrast to the original work we do not remove expressions from the set during abstraction because we want to avoid both re-evaluation of expressions or the loss of the more specific results.
