SAT-Based Explicit LTL Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here a new explicit reasoning framework for linear temporal logic (LTL), which is built on top of propositional satisfiability (SAT) solving. As a proof-of-concept of this framework, we describe a new LTL satisfiability algorithm. We implemented the algorithm in a tool, Aalta v2.0, which is built on top of the Minisat SAT solver. We tested the effectiveness of this approach by demonstrating that Aalta v2.0 significantly outperforms all existing LTL satisfiability solvers.

Resolution-based methods for linear temporal reasoning
The aim of this thesis is to explore the potential of resolution-based methods for linear temporal reasoning. On the abstract level, this means to develop new algorithms for automated reasoning about properties of systems which evolve in time. More concretely, we will: 1) show how to adapt the superposition framework to proving theorems in propositional Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), 2) use a con...
متن کاملFast LTL Satisfiability Checking by SAT Solvers
Satisfiability checking for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) is a fundamental step in checking for possible errors in LTL assertions. Extant LTL satisfiability checkers use a variety of different search procedures. With the sole exception of LTL satisfiability checking based on bounded model checking, which does not provide a complete decision procedure, LTL satisfiability checkers have not taken ad...
متن کاملBehavioral Diagnosis of LTL Specifications at Operator Level
Product defects and rework efforts due to flawed specifications represent major issues for a project’s performance, so that there is a high motivation for providing effective means that assist designers in assessing and ensuring a specification’s quality. Recent research in the context of formal specifications, e.g. on coverage and vacuity, offers important means to tackle related issues. In th...
متن کاملA Symbolic Approach to Safety ltl Synthesis
Temporal synthesis is the automated design of a system that interacts with an environment, using the declarative specification of the system’s behavior. A popular language for providing such a specification is Linear Temporal Logic, or LTL. LTL synthesis in the general case has remained, however, a hard problem to solve in practice. Because of this, many works have focused on developing synthes...
متن کاملOn the Virtue of Patience: Minimizing Büchi Automata
Explicit-state model checkers like SPIN, which verify systems against properties stated in linear-time temporal logic (LTL), rely on efficient LTL-to-Büchi translators. A difficult design decision in such constructions is to trade time spent on minimizing the Büchi automaton versus time spent on model checking against an unnecessarily large automaton. Standard reduction methods like simulation ...
