چکیده

We introduce a new fragment of Linear temporal logic (LTL) called LIO and a new class of Büchi automata (BA) called Almost linear Büchi automata (ALBA). We provide effective translations between LIO and ALBA showing that the two formalisms are expressively equivalent. While standard translations of LTL into BA use some intermediate formalisms, the presented translation of LIO into ALBA is direct. As we expect applications of ALBA in model checking, we compare the expressiveness of ALBA with other classes of Büchi automata studied in this context and we indicate possible applications.

Beyond Hyper-Minimisation---Minimising DBAs and DPAs is NP-Complete

In this paper we study the problem of minimising deterministic automata over finite and infinite words. Deterministic finite automata are the simplest devices to recognise regular languages, and deterministic Büchi, Co-Büchi, and parity automata play a similar role in the recognition of ω-regular languages. While it is well known that the minimisation of deterministic finite and weak automata i...

Linear weak alternating automata and the model checking problem

Abstract. Automata-based model checking is a widely used approach towards software model checking. Traditionally, nondeterministic Büchi automata are used to represent the temporal logic property to be checked. We take a look at a special kind of alternating automata, the linear weak alternating automata. They can be constructed from LTL formula in an elegant way in linear time. The emptiness c...

Minimisation of Deterministic Parity and Buchi Automata and Relative Minimisation of Deterministic Finite Automata

In this report we study the problem of minimising deterministic automata over finite and infinite words. Deterministic finite automata are the simplest devices to recognise regular languages, and deterministic Büchi, Co-Büchi, and parity automata play a similar role in the recognition of ω-regular languages. While it is well known that the minimisation of deterministic finite and weak automata ...

Constructing Büchi Automata from Linear Temporal Logic Using Simulation Relations for Alternating Büchi Automata

We present a new procedure for the translation of propositional linear-time temporal logic (LTL) formulas to equivalent nondeterministic Büchi automata. Our procedure is based on simulation relations for alternating Büchi automata. Whereas most of the procedures that have been described in the past compute simulation relations in the last step of the translation (after a nondeterministic Büchi ...

A Quasi-Linear Time Algorithm Deciding Whether Weak Büchi Automata Reading Vectors of Reals Recognize Saturated Languages

This work considers weak deterministic Büchi automata reading encodings of non-negative d-vectors of reals in a fixed base. A saturated language is a language which contains all encoding of elements belonging to a set of d-vectors of reals. A Real Vector Automaton is an automaton which recognizes a saturated language. It is explained how to decide in quasi-linear time whether a minimal weak det...
