Monodic temporal logic with quantified propositional variables

نویسنده

چکیده

We extend the monodic fragment of first-order linear temporal logic to include right-linear grammar operators and quantification of propositional variables. Unlike propositional temporal logic, the use of grammar operators in first-order temporal logic is not equivalent to general propositional quantification, as the latter admit satisfiable formulae without countable models. We consider the decision problem for fragments where propositional quantification occurs outside of quantification of individual variables and temporal (grammar) operators. We show that if externally quantified propositions inside temporal operators occur within positive occurrences of universal quantifiers for individual variables then validity for all propositional prefix classes is recursively enumerable, and decidable in the two-variable case. Without this condition we show that, even with very severe restrictions on the first-order part of the logic, no non-trivial prefix class is recursively enumerable.

On Non-local Propositional and Weak Monodic Quantified CTL

In this paper we prove decidability of two kinds of branching time temporal logics. First we show that the non-local version of propositional PCTL∗, in which truth values of atoms may depend on the branch of evaluation, is decidable. Then we use this result to establish decidability of various fragments of quantified PCTL∗, where the next-time operator can be applied only to formulas with at mo...

Interactions between Time and Knowledge in a First-order Logic for Multi-Agent Systems

We investigate a class of first-order temporal epistemic logics for the specification of multi-agent systems. We consider well-known properties of multi-agent systems including perfect recall, synchronicity, no learning, unique initial state, and define natural correspondences between these and quantified interpreted systems. Our findings identify several monodic fragments of first-order tempor...

Exploring the Monodic Fragment of First-Order Temporal Logic using Clausal Temporal Resolution

Until recently, first-order temporal logic has been little understood. While it is well known that the full logic has no finite axiomatisation, a more detailed analysis of fragments of the logic was not available. However, a breakthrough by Hodkinson et.al., identifying a finitely axiomatisable fragment, termed the monodic fragment, has led to improved understanding of first-order temporal logi...

Interactions between Knowledge and Time in a First-Order Logic for Multi-Agent Systems: Completeness Results

We investigate a class of first-order temporal-epistemic logics for reasoning about multiagent systems. We encode typical properties of systems including perfect recall, synchronicity, no learning, and having a unique initial state in terms of variants of quantified interpreted systems, a first-order extension of interpreted systems. We identify several monodic fragments of first-order temporal...
