The intuitionistic temporal logic of dynamical systems

Abstract

A dynamical system is a pair (X,f)(X,f), where XX is a topological space and f ⁣:XXf\colon X\to X is continuous. Kremer observed that the language of propositional linear temporal logic can be interpreted over the class of dynamical systems, giving rise to a natural intuitionistic temporal logic. We introduce a variant of Kremer's logic, which we denote ITLc{\sf ITL^c}, and show that it is decidable. We also show that minimality and Poincar\'e recurrence are both expressible in the language of ITLc{\sf ITL^c}, thus providing a decidable logic expressive enough to reason about non-trivial asymptotic behavior in dynamical systems.
