A Decidable and Expressive Fragment of Many-Sorted First-Order Linear Temporal Logic
Résumé
First-Order Linear Temporal Logic (FOLTL) and its Many-Sorted variant (MSFOLTL) are well-suited to specify infinite-state systems. However, the satisfiability of (MS)FOLTL is not even semi-decidable, thus preventing automated verification. In this paper, we exhibit various fragments of increasing scope that provide a pertinent basis for the abstract specification of infinite-state systems. We show that these fragments enjoy the Bounded Domain Property (any satisfiable (MS)FOLTL formula has a model with a finite, bounded FO domains), which provides a basis for complete, automated verification by reduction to LTL satisfiability. Finally, we present a simple case study illustrating the applicability and limitations of our results.
