Abstract

We introduce the logic ITLe\sf ITL^e, an intuitionistic temporal logic based on structures (W,,S)(W,\preccurlyeq,S), where \preccurlyeq is used to interpret intuitionistic implication and SS is a \preccurlyeq-monotone function used to interpret temporal modalities. Our main result is that the satisfiability and validity problems for ITLe\sf ITL^e are decidable. We prove this by showing that the logic enjoys the strong finite model property. In contrast, we also consider a `persistent' version of the logic, ITLp\sf ITL^p, whose models are similar to Cartesian products. We prove that, unlike ITLe\sf ITL^e, ITLp\sf ITL^p does not have the finite model property.
