Specification and Verification using Temporal Logics

Abstract

This chapter illustrates two aspects of automata theory related to linear-time temporal logic LTL used for the verification of computer systems. First, we present a translation from LTL formulae to Büchi automata. The aim is to design an elementary translation which is reasonably efficient and produces small automata so that it can be easily taught and used by hand on real examples. Our translation is in the spirit of the classical tableau constructions but is optimized in several ways. Secondly, we recall how temporal operators can be defined from regular languages and we explain why adding even a single operator definable by a context-free language can lead to undecidability.
