Fix a bug in canonical simplification of less-than expressions where the algorithm incorrectly assumed variables could have negative values when simplifying expressions of the form
ax + b < c
.The previous implementation checked if
-d < xn < d
before simplifying, but this was incorrect when variables are constrained to non-negative ranges. For example, with constraints0 < x, y < 2
and expression2x + y < 8
, the algorithm would incorrectly check if-2 < y < 2
and then simplify tox < 4
. However, when x=4 and y=-1, we get 2*4 + (-1) = 7 < 8, which satisfies the original constraint but violates the intended variable bounds.The fix changes the range check to
0 <= xn < d
, ensuring that simplification only occurs when variables are properly bounded from below at zero.
