 +Consequence:​ it suffices to search for those solutions whose variables denote integers with the number of bits bounded by:
 +\[
 +   \log (n(ma)^{2m+1}) = (2m+1) (\log(ma)) + \log n
 +\]
 +here
 +  * $a$ is the maximum of values of integers occuring in the problem
 +  * $m$ is number of constraints
 +  * $n$ is number of variables
 +We obtain a **polynomial-time** reduction from quantifier-free Presburger arithmetic to SAT.
