Quantified CTL : expressiveness and model checking ( Extended abstract ) Arnaud

چکیده
While it was defined long ago, the extension of CTL with quantification over atomic propositions has never been studied extensively. Considering two different semantics (depending whether propositional quantification refers to the Kripke structure or to its unwinding tree), we study its expressiveness (showing in particular that QCTL coincides with Monadic Second-Order Logic for both semantics) and characterize the complexity of its model-checking problem, depending on the number of nested propositional quantifiers (showing that the structure semantics populates the polynomial hierarchy while the tree semantics populates the exponential hierarchy). We also show how these results apply to model checking ATL-like temporal logics for games.

متن کاملATL with Strategy Contexts: Expressiveness and Model Checking
We study the alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL extended with strategy contexts: these make agents commit to their strategies during the evaluation of formulas, contrary to plain ATL and ATL where strategy quantifiers reset previously selected strategies. We illustrate the important expressive power of strategy contexts by proving that they make the extended logics, namely ATLsc and A...
متن کاملCTL and Equivalent Sublanguages of CTL
Specifications of finite state algorithms with a complex temporal behavior such as protocols or hardware systems are often given in temporal logics as e.g. CTL or CTL . On the one hand, CTL offers in comparison to CTL efficient model checking algorithms, but on the other hand, CTL seems to suffer from a limited expressiveness. In this paper, it is shown that the limitations one feels when using...
متن کاملComputation Tree Logic Model Checking Based on Possibility Measures
In order to deal with the systematic verification with uncertain infromation in possibility theory, Li and Li [19] introduced model checking of linear-time properties in which the uncertainty is modeled by possibility measures. Xue, Lei and Li [26] defined computation tree logic (CTL) based on possibility measures, which is called possibilistic CTL (PoCTL). This paper is a continuation of the a...
