First, a linear logic of knowledge is introduced into the past tense operator, and then a new temporal epistemic logic LTLKP is obtained, so that LTLKP can naturally and precisely describe the system＇s reliability. Secondly, a set of prior algorithms are designed to calculate the maximal reachable depth and the length of the longest of loop free paths in the structure based on the graph structure theory. Finally, some theorems are proposed to show how to approximate the complete threshold with the diameter and recurrence diameter. The proposed work resolves the completeness threshold problem so that the completeness of bounded model checking can be guaranteed.展开更多

The algorithm firstly transforms PLTL formulas into their non-free forms, then it further translates the non-free formulas into their Normal Forms （NFs）, next constructs Normal Form Graphs （NFGs） for NF formulas, and it fi- nally transforms NFGs into the NA which ac- cepts both finite words and int-mite words. The experimental data show that the new algorithm re- duces the average number of nodes of target NA for a benchmark formula set and selected formulas in the literature, respectively. These results indi- cate that the PLTL model checking technique em- ploying the new algorithm generates a smaller state space in verification of concurrent systems.展开更多

In this paper, we propose the use of a guasi-classical temporal logic (QCTL) for supporting the verification of temporal properties of such systems even where the consistent model is not available. Our models are paraKripke structures (extended standard Kripke structures), in which both a formula and its negation are satisfied in a same state, and properties to be verified are expressed by QCTL with paraKripke structures semantics. We introduce a novel notion of paraKripke models, which grasps the paraconsistent character of the entailment relation of QCTL. Furthermore, we explore the methodology of model checking over QCTL, and describe the detailed algorithm of implementing QCTL model checker. In the sequel, a simple example is presented, showing how to exploit the proposed model checking technique to verify the temporal properties of inconsistent concurrent systems.展开更多

The hybrid Automata in high layer could coordinate the different distributed voltage controller, and have constituted a closed loop global voltage control system satisfied the LTL specification formula. Finally, a simple example of power system voltage control include the OLTC controller, the switched capacitor controller and the under-voltage shedding load controller was given for simulating analysis and verification by the proposed approach for power system coordinated voltage control. The results of simulation showed that the proposed method in the paper is feasible.展开更多

This paper gives semantics of temporal formulae with edges of the transition system of Petri net, and then presents a fast temporal analyzing method, which takes advantage of both Petri net and temporal logic. The method only expands a path of equivalence trace while the path does not satisfy a property according to trace semantics of Petri net, and can validate directly the property on Petri net. Moreover, we exploit a minimal degree of in-out of a node as heuristics to select a path of an equivalence trace. Finally, we demonstrate the validity of the method that decreases state spaces and improves the verification system with the experimental results.展开更多

Temporal logics have been an important research subject within this direction. Although numerous logics have been introduced for formal specification of real-time and complex systems, an up to date survey of these logics does not exist in the literature. In this paper we analyse various temporal formalisms introduced for specification, including propositional/first-order linear temporal logics, branching temporal logics, interval temporal logics, real-time temporal logics and probabilistic temporal logics. We give decidability, axiomatizability, expressiveness, model checking results for each logic analysed. We also provide a comparison of features of the temporal logics discussed.展开更多

We study the logical characterization of higherorder processes constrained by linearity. Linearity respects resource-sensitiveness and does not allow processes to duplicate themselves arbitrarily. We provide a modal logic that characterizes linear higher-order processes,particularly the bisimulation called local bisimulation over them. More importantly, the logic has modalities for higher-order actions downscaled to resembling first-order ones in Hennessy-Milner logic, based on a formulation exploiting the linearity of processes.展开更多

文摘Modal logic characterization in a higher-order setting is usually not a trivial task because higher-order process-passing is quite different from first-order name-passing. We study the logical characterization of higherorder processes constrained by linearity. Linearity respects resource-sensitiveness and does not allow processes to duplicate themselves arbitrarily. We provide a modal logic that characterizes linear higher-order processes,particularly the bisimulation called local bisimulation over them. More importantly, the logic has modalities for higher-order actions downscaled to resembling first-order ones in Hennessy-Milner logic, based on a formulation exploiting the linearity of processes.
