Deeper Connections Between LTL and Alternating Automata
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The second part of the paper draws a direct connection between fragments of the Until-Release hierarchy [4] and alternation depth of nonaccepting and accepting states in A1W automata. ...
It is known that Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) has the same expressive power as alternating 1-weak automata (A1W automata, also called alternating linear automata or very weak alternating automata). ...
Introduction The study of connections between temporal logics and automata proved to be very fruitful. ...

Bounded Model Checking of ETL Cooperating with Finite and Looping Automata Connectives
2013
Journal of Applied Mathematics
Since such kind of temporal logic involves both finite and looping automata as connectives, all regular properties can be succinctly specified with it. ...
However, the expressiveness of LTL is rather limited, and some important properties cannot be captured by such logic. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
algorithm of Bloem et al. for weak automata. ...
In this work we study hybrid approaches to LTL symbolic model checking; that is, approaches that use explicit representations of the property automaton, whose state space is often quite manageable, and ...
We are grateful to Armin Biere and Viktor Schuppan for providing us with their tools in order to test the combination of "liveness to safety" with automata-theoretic approaches. ...

A Multi-encoding Approach for LTL Symbolic Satisfiability Checking
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We introduce a novel encoding of symbolic transition-based Büchi automata and a novel, "sloppy," transition encoding, both of which result in improved scalability. ...
Our focus here is on specifications expressed in linear temporal logic (LTL). ...

Completeness and Complexity of Bounded Model Checking
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We describe how to compute an over-approximation to CT for a general LTL property using Büchi automata, following the Vardi-Wolper LTL model checking framework. ...
Based on the value of CT , we prove that the complexity of standard SAT-based BMC is doubly exponential, and that consequently there is a complexity gap of an exponent between this procedure and standard ...
LTL model checking with Büchi automata In this section we describe how model checking of LTL formulas can be done with Büchi automata, as it was first introduced by Vardi and Wolper in [15] . ...

On-the-Fly Emptiness Checks for Generalized Büchi Automata
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Emptiness check is a key operation in the automata-theoretic approach to LTL verification. However, it is usually done on Büchi automata with a single acceptance condition. ...
We review existing on-the-fly emptiness-check algorithms for generalized Büchi automata (i.e., with multiple acceptance conditions) and show how they compete favorably with emptiness-checks for degeneralized ...

Formally Reasoning About Quality

Journal of the ACM
We distinguish between two approaches to specifying quality. ...
We demonstrate the usefulness of both extensions and study the decidability and complexity of the decision and search problems for them as well as for extensions of LTL that combine both types of operators ...
We do not distinguish between the two cases, and simply state that the state formula changes to a deeper subformula. ...

This has to do with theoretical limitations, like the complexity of the problem, algorithmic limitations, like the need to determinize automata on infinite words and solve parity games, methodological ...
