Undecidability of Partial Order Logics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we prove the undecidability of certain temporal logics over partial orders. The proof we use is generic and can be applied to characterize various termpoal operators that cannot be used for automatic veriication (model checking). We propose that these results partially explain why the partial order model of concurrency has not gained as much popularity as the interleaving model.

Deciding Global Partial-Order Properties
Model checking of asynchronous systems is traditionally based on the interleaving model, where an execution is modeled by a total order between events. Recently, the use of partial order semantics that allows independent events of concurrent processes to be unordered is becoming popular. Temporal logics that are interpreted over partial orders allow specifications relating global snapshots, and...
متن کاملThe Boundary Between Decidability and Undecidability for Transitive-Closure Logics
To reason effectively about programs it is important to have some version of a transitive closure operator so that we can describe such notions as the set of nodes reachable from a program’s variables. On the other hand, with a few notable exceptions, adding transitive closure to even very tame logics makes them undecidable. In this paper we explore the boundary between decidability and undecid...
متن کامل6 On the freeze quantifier in Constraint LTL : decidability and complexity ⋆
Constraint LTL, a generalisation of LTL over Presburger constraints, is often used as a formal language to specify the behavior of operational models with constraints. The freeze quantifier can be part of the language, as in some real-time logics, but this variable-binding mechanism is quite general and ubiquitous in many logical languages (first-order temporal logics, hybrid logics, logics for...
متن کاملModal Logics of Topological Relations
Logical formalisms for reasoning about relations between spatial regions play a fundamental role in geographical information systems, spatial and constraint databases, and spatial reasoning in AI. In analogy with Halpern and Shoham’s modal logic of time intervals based on the Allen relations, we introduce a family of modal logics equipped with eight modal operators that are interpreted by the E...
متن کاملSAT in Monadic Gödel Logics: A Borderline between Decidability and Undecidability
We investigate satisfiability in the monadic fragment of firstorder Gödel logics. These are a family of finiteand infinite-valued logics where the sets of truth values V are closed subsets of [0, 1] containing 0 and 1. We identify conditions on the topological type of V that determine the decidability or undecidability of their satisfiability problem.
