Technical Report Satisfiability of ATEL with Common and Distributed Knowledge is ExpTime-Complete

چکیده

Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL) of Alur, Henzinger, and Kupferman is increasingly widely applied in formal system specification and verification of distributed systems and game-like multi-agent systems. The extension Alternating-time Temporal Epistemic Logic (ATEL) of van der Hoek and Wooldridge of ATL with knowledge modalities widens the scope of reasoning over multi-agent systems with epistemic notions. In this paper, the complexity of some variants of satisfiability problems of ATEL with epistemic operators for common and distributed knowledge is investigated and settled at ExpTimecomplete. Thus ATEL has the same complexity as ATL.

Model Checking Pushdown Epistemic Game Structures

In this paper, we investigate the problem of verifying pushdown multiagent systems with imperfect information. As the formal model, we introduce pushdown epistemic game structures (PEGSs), an extension of pushdown game structures with epistemic accessibility relations (EARs). For the specification, we consider extensions of alternating-time temporal logics with epistemic modalities: ATEL, ATEL∗...

Optimal Regression for Reasoning about Knowledge and Actions (long version)

We show how in the propositional case both Reiter’s and Scherl & Levesque’s solutions to the frame problem can be modelled in dynamic epistemic logic (DEL), and provide an optimal regression algorithm for the latter. Our method is as follows: we extend Reiter’s framework by integrating observation actions and modal operators of knowledge, and encode the resulting formalism in DEL with announcem...

Satisfiability of Alternating-Time Temporal Epistemic Logic Through Tableaux

In this paper we present a tableau-based method to decide the satisfiability of formulas in ATEL, an extension of the alternating-time temporal logic ATL including epistemic modalities for individual knowledge. Specifically, we analyse satisfiability of ATEL formulas under a number of conditions. We evaluate the assumptions of synchronicity and of a unique initial state, which have been propose...

A Sound and Complete Algorithm for Simple Conceptual Logic Programs

Open Answer Set Programming (OASP) is a knowledge representation paradigm that allows for a tight integration of Logic Programming rules and Description Logic ontologies. Although several decidable fragments of OASP exist, no reasoning procedures for such expressive fragments were identified so far. We provide an algorithm that checks satisfiability in NEXPTIME for the fragment of EXPTIME-compl...

ATL Satisfiability is Indeed EXPTIME-complete

The alternating-time temporal logic (ATL) of Alur, Henzinger and Kupferman is being increasingly widely applied in the specification and verification of open distributed systems and game-like multi-agent systems. In this article, we investigate the computational complexity of the satisfiability problem for ATL. For the case where the set of agents is fixed in advance, this problem was settled a...
