Abstract

In a data word or a data tree each position carries a label from a finite alphabet and a data value from an infinite domain.Over data words we consider the logic ${\sf LTL}^{\downarrow}_{1}(\rm F)$, that extends LTL( F) with one register for storing data values for later comparisons. We show that satisfiability over data words of ${\sf LTL}^{\downarrow}_{1}(\rm F)$ is already non primitive recursive. We also show that the extension of ${\sf LTL}^{\downarrow}_{1}(\rm F)$ with either the backward modality F 驴 1 or with one extra register is undecidable. All these lower bounds were already known for ${\sf LTL}^{\downarrow}_{1}({\rm X,F})$ and our results essentially show that the X modality was not necessary.Moreover we show that over data trees similar lower bounds hold for certain fragments of Xpath.
