Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of generating deterministic ω-automata for formulas of linear temporal logic, which can be solved by applying well-known algorithms to construct a nondeterministic Büchi automaton for the given formula on which we then apply a determinization algorithm. We study here in detail Safra's determinization algorithm, present several heuristics that attempt to decrease the size of the resulting automata and report on experimental results.
