The Axiomatization of Propositional Linear Time Temporal Logic
The article introduces propositional linear time temporal logic as a formal system. Axioms and rules of derivation are defined. Soundness Theorem and Deduction Theorem are proved [9].
The Derivations of Temporal Logic Formulas
This is a preliminary article to prove the completeness theorem of an extension of basic propositional temporal logic. We base it on the proof of completeness for basic propositional temporal logic given in [12]. We introduce n-ary connectives and prove their properties. We derive temporal logic formulas.
The Properties of Sets of Temporal Logic Subformulas
This is a second preliminary article to prove the completeness theorem of an extension of basic propositional temporal logic. We base it on the proof of completeness for basic propositional temporal logic given in [17]. We introduce two modified definitions of a subformula. In the former one we treat until-formula as indivisible. In the latter one, we extend the set of subformulas of until-formulas by a special disjunctive formula. This is needed to construct a temporal model. We also define an...
Three notes on the complexity of model checking fixpoint logic with chop
This paper analyses the complexity of model checking fixpoint logic with Chop – an extension of the modal μ-calculus with a sequential composition operator. It uses two known game-based characterisations to derive the following results: the combined model checking complexity as well as the data complexity of FLC are EXPTIME-complete. This is already the case for its alternation-free fragment. The expression complexity of FLC is trivially P-hard and limited from above by the complexity of solving...
Topologies, continuity and bisimulations
Topologies, Continuity and Bisimulations
The notion of a bisimulation relation is of basic importance in many areas of computation theory and logic. Of late, it has come to take a particular significance in work on the formal analysis and verification of hybrid control systems, where system properties are expressible by formulas of the modal μ-calculus or weaker temporal logics. Our purpose here is to give an analysis of the concept of bisimulation, starting with the observation that the zig-zag conditions are suggestive of some...
