Abstract

We study the complexity of satisfiability and model-checking of the linear-time temporal logic with past (PLTL). More precisely, we consider several fragments of PLTL, depending on the allowed set of temporal modalities, the use of negations or the nesting of future formulae into past formulae. Our results show that "past is for free", that is it does not bring additional theoretical complexity, even for small fragments, and even when nesting future formulae into past formulae. We also remark that existential and universal model-checking can have different complexity for certain fragments.

Abstract

We positively answer the old question whether temporal logic with past is more succinct than pure-future temporal logic. Surprisingly, the proof is quite simple and elementary, although the question has been open for twenty years.

Abstract

We study the complexity of satisfiability and model checking problems for fragments of linear-time temporal logic with past (PLTL). We consider many fragments of PLTL, obtained by restricting the set of allowed temporal modalities, the use of negations or the nesting of future formulas into past formulas. Our results strengthen the widely accepted fact that "past is for free", in the sense that allowing symmetric past-time modalities does not bring additional theoretical complexity. This result holds even for small fragments and even when nesting future formulas into past formulas.

Abstract

Network congestion games are a simple model for reasoning about routing problems in a network. They are a very popular topic in algorithmic game theory, and a huge amount of results about existence and (in)efficiency of equilibrium strategy profiles in those games have been obtained over the last 20 years.

In particular, the price of anarchy has been defined as an important notion for measuring the inefficiency of Nash equilibria. Generic bounds have been obtained for the price of anarchy over various classes of networks, but little attention has been put on the effective computation of this value for a given network. This talk presents recent results on this problem in different settings.

                         reasoning about routing problems in a network. They
                         are a very popular topic in algorithmic game theory,
                         and a huge amount of results about existence and
                         (in)efficiency of equilibrium strategy profiles in
                         those games have been obtained over the last
                         20~years. \par In~particular, the price of anarchy
                         has been defined as an important notion for
                         measuring the inefficiency of Nash equilibria.
                         Generic bounds have been obtained for the price of
                         anarchy over various classes of networks, but little
                         attention has been put on the effective computation
                         of this value for a given network. This talk
                         presents recent results on this problem in different

Abstract

In this paper, we study the complexity of model-checking formulas of three important real-time logics (MTL, MITL, and TCTL) over restricted sets of timed paths. The classes of restricted sets of timed paths that we consider are (i) a single finite (or ultimately periodic) timed path, (ii) a infinite set of finite (or infinite) timed paths defined by a finite (or ultimately periodic) path in a region graph, (iii) a infinite set of finite (or infinite) timed paths defined by a finite (or ultimately periodic) path in a zone graph.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the complexity of model-checking formulas of four important real-time logics (TPTL, MTL, MITL, and TCTL) over restricted sets of timed paths. The classes of restricted sets of timed paths that we consider are (i) a single finite (or ultimately periodic) timed path, (ii) an infinite set of finite (or infinite) timed paths defined by a finite (or ultimately periodic) path in a region graph, (iii) an infinite set of finite (or infinite) timed paths defined by a finite (or ultimately periodic) path in a zone graph.

Several results are quite negative: TPTL and MTL remain undecidable along region- and zone-paths. On the other hand, we obtained PTIME algorithms for model checking TCTL along a region path, and for MTL along a single timed path.

Abstract

We consider the problem of checking whether a finite (or ultimately periodic) run satisfies a temporal logic formula. This problem is at the heart of "runtime verification" but it also appears in many other situations. By considering several extended temporal logics, we show that the problem of model checking a path can usually be solved efficiently, and profit from specialized algorithms. We further show it is possible to efficiently check paths given in compressed form.

Abstract

We describe OBDD-based symbolic model checking algorithms for simply-timed systems, i.e. finite state graphs where transitions carry a duration. These durations can be arbitrary natural numbers. A simple and natural semantics for these systems opens the way for improved efficiency. Our algorithms have been implemented in NuSMV and perform well in practice (on standard case studies).

Abstract

TSMV is an extension of NuSMV, the open-source symbolic model checker, aimed at dealing with timed versions of (models of) circuits, PLC controllers, protocols, etc. The underlying model is an extension of Kripke structures, where every transition carries an integer duration (possibly zero). This simple model supports efficient symbolic algorithms for RTCTL formulae.

Abstract

SLP-compressed words are words given by simple deterministic grammars called "straight-line programs". We prove that the problem of deciding whether an SLP-compressed word is recognized by a FSA is complete for polynomial-time.

Abstract

We investigate the path model checking problem for the μ-calculus. Surprisingly, restricting to deterministic structures does not allow for more efficient model checking algorithm, as we prove that it can encode any instance of the standard model checking problem for the μ-calculus.

Abstract

Symmetry reductions have been applied extensively for the verification of finite-state concurrent systems and hardware designs using model-checking of temporal logics such as LTL, CTL and CTL*, as well as real-time and probabilistic-system model-checking. In this paper we extend the technique to handle infinite-state games on graphs with finite branching where the objectives of the players can be very general. As particular applications, it is shown that the technique can be applied to reduce the state space in parity games as well as when doing model-checking of the temporal logic ATL*.
