Abstract

We improve the state-of-the-art algorithm for obtaining an automaton from a linear temporal logic formula. The automaton is intended to be used for model checking, as well as for satisfiability checking. Therefore, the algorithm is mainly concerned with keeping the automaton as small as possible. The experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the previous one, with respect to both the size of the generated automata and computation time. The testing is performed following a newly developed methodology based on the use of randomly generated formulas.
