BRANCHING-TIME VERSUS LINEAR-TIME - A Cooperative and Feasible Approach

2010

Abstract

A new temporal logic called linear-time computation tree logic (LCTL) is obtained from computation tree logic (CTL) by adding some modified versions of the temporal operators of linear-time temporal logic (LTL). A theorem for embedding LCTL into CTL is proved. The model-checking, validity and satisfiability problems of LCTL are shown to be deterministic PTIME-complete, EXPTIME-complete and deterministic EXPTIMEcomplete, respectively.
