Abstract: As a summary of software design experience,proper use of design patterns can effectively improve the reusability of software systems and ensure the quality of the final software products.However,in practical applications,people rarely use a single design pattern,and usually software designers need to use experience to combine multiple patterns according to the actual application scenarios,which may lead to uncertainty results and seriously affect the quality of software products.Although the exi-sting formal method of pattern combination can effectively express the result of pattern combination,the combination method has complex logic and contains a large number of redundant operations,which is difficult for designers to be familiar with and adopt.Aiming at the problems existing in the above pattern combination process,this paper deeply discussed the combination relationship between multiple patterns.Starting from the formal representation of design patterns,combined with the characteristics of Z language,this paper studied the existing formal methods of pattern combination in depth,and optimized the existing pattern combination operators.Based on the existing set of operators,the constraint,superposition and extension operators are proposed,the exact semantics of pattern composition are defined by the operators,and the algebraic reasoning process is used to verify that the optimized method can effectively replace the existing formal method of pattern combination,it can overcome the problems of redundant operators and low efficiency caused by too many operators in the existing formal methods of pattern combination.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a case study of pattern combination.

Key words: Combination of patterns, Design patterns, Equality reasoning, Formal method, Operation optimization
