Abstract
A predicate linear temporal logic LTL_{\lambda,=} without quantifiers but with predicate abstraction mechanism and equality is considered. The models of LTL_{\lambda,=} can be naturally seen as the systems of pebbles (flexible constants) moving over the elements of some (possibly infinite) domain. This allows to use LTL_{\lambda,=} for the specification of dynamic systems using some resources, such as processes using memory locations, mobile agents occupying some sites, etc. On the other hand we show that LTL_{\lambda,=} is not recursively axiomatizable and, therefore, fully automated verification of LTL_{\lambda,=} specifications is not, in general, possible.
