What is LTL?

LTL is a temporal logic that defines the validity of a property over time.

What is CTL*?

CTL* is a more expressive logic that allows for branching time and quantifiers.

LTL vs. CTL*

LTL is a subset of CTL*. It allows for expressing properties over time, but it lacks branching time and quantifiers.

Who proposed LTL?

Amir Pnueli proposed LTL for verifying computer programs in 1977.

Study Notes

  • Linear temporal logic (LTL) is a modal temporal logic with modalities referring to time.
  • LTL allows encoding formulae about the future of paths, e.g., a condition will eventually be true.
  • LTL is a fragment of the more complex CTL*, which additionally allows branching time and quantifiers.
  • LTL is sometimes called propositional temporal logic, abbreviated PTL.
  • LTL was first proposed for the formal verification of computer programs by Amir Pnueli in 1977.
  • LTL is built up from a finite set of propositional variables AP, logical operators ¬ and ∨, and temporal modal operators X and U.
  • LTL formulas can be satisfied by infinite sequences of truth valuations of variables in AP.
  • LTL formulas can be transformed into negation normal form.
  • LTL can be shown to be equivalent to the monadic first-order logic of order, FO[<].
  • Model checking and satisfiability against an LTL formula are PSPACE-complete problems.
