چکیده

A fragment of linear time temporal logic (LTL) is presented. It is proved that the satisfiability problem for this fragment is NPcomplete. The fragment is larger than previously known NP-complete fragments. It is obtained by prohibiting the use of until operator and requiring to use only next operators indexed by a letter.

On the Complexity of LtlModel-Checking of Recursive State Machines

Recursive state machines (rsms) are models for programs with recursive procedural calls. While Ltl model-checking is Exptimecomplete on such models, on finite-state machines, it is Pspace-complete in general and becomes Np-complete for interesting fragments. In this paper, we systematically study the computational complexity of modelchecking rsms against several syntactic fragments of Ltl. Our ...

The Common Fragment of CTL and LTL

It is well-known that CTL and LTL have incomparable expressive power. In this paper, we give an inductive definition of those ACTL formulas that can be expressed in LTL. In addition, we obtain a procedure to decide whether an ACTL formula lies in LTL, and show that this problem is PSPACE complete. By omitting path quantifiers, we get an inductive definition of the LTL formulas expressible in AC...

The Complexity of Flat Freeze LTL

We consider the model-checking problem for freeze LTL on one-counter automata (OCAs). Freeze LTL extends LTL with the freeze quantifier, which allows one to store different counter values of a run in registers so that they can be compared with one another. As the model-checking problem is undecidable in general, we focus on the flat fragment of freeze LTL, in which the usage of the freeze quant...

Taming Past LTL and Flat Counter Systems

Reachability and LTL model-checking problems for flat counter systems are known to be decidable but whereas the reachability problem can be shown in NP, the best known complexity upper bound for the latter problem is made of a tower of several exponentials. Herein, we show that the problem is only NP-complete even if LTL admits past-time operators and arithmetical constraints on counters. For i...
