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.
