In this paper we consider combining two techniques that have been effective in analyzing infinite-state systems: predicate abstraction and fixpoint approximations. Using a carefully crafted model of Airport Ground Network Control, we show that when predicate abstraction in a CEGAR loop fails to verify temporal logic properties of an infinite-state transition system, a combination of predicate abstraction with fixpoint approximations may provide improved performance for both safety and liveness property verification.
