The thesis deals with various problems of <strong>Presburger</strong> <strong>Arithmetic</strong> rang<strong>in</strong>g from<br />

simplification to decision procedures. The reader is expected to be familiar with<br />

F#, .NET framework <strong>and</strong> parallel programm<strong>in</strong>g. No prior knowledge of functional<br />

programm<strong>in</strong>g is needed, although it helps to underst<strong>and</strong> the idea of multicore parallelism<br />
