Abstract

We propose a method for using existing finite model builders for constructing infinite models of first-order formulae. The considered interpretations are represented by tree tuple automata. Our approach is based on formula transformation. It is proven to be sound (i.e. all the constructed interpretations are models of the original formula) and complete for the considered class of interpretations (i.e. a model is eventually built for any formula having a model representable by a tree automaton).
