Formalisms based on temporal logics interpreted over finite strict linear orders, known in the literature as finite traces, have been used for temporal specification in automated planning, process modelling, (runtime) verification and…

Machine teaching is an algorithmic framework for teaching a target hypothesis via a sequence of examples or demonstrations. We investigate machine teaching for temporal logic formulas -- a novel and expressive hypothesis class amenable to…

We investigate a non-classical version of linear temporal logic whose propositional fragment is G\"odel--Dummett logic (which is well known both as a superintuitionistic logic and a t-norm fuzzy logic). We define the logic using two natural…

In this paper we consider the specification and verification of infinite-state systems using temporal logic. In particular, we describe parameterised systems using a new variety of first-order temporal logic that is both powerful enough for…

We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…

A dynamical system is a pair $(X,f)$, where $X$ is a topological space and $f\colon X\to X$ is continuous. Kremer observed that the language of propositional linear temporal logic can be interpreted over the class of dynamical systems,…

The standard operational probabilistic framework (within which we can formulate Operational Quantum Theory) is time asymmetric. This is clear because the conditions on allowed operations are time asymmetric. It is odd, though, because…

Temporal logics are widely used by the Formal Methods and AI communities. Linear Temporal Logic is a popular temporal logic and is valued for its ease of use as well as its balance between expressiveness and complexity. LTL is equivalent in…

In several previous papers we have argued for a global and non-entropic approach to the problem of the arrow of time, according to which the ''arrow'' is only a metaphorical way of expressing the geometrical time-asymmetry of the universe.…

Temporal reasoning in dynamic, data-intensive environments increasingly demands expressive yet tractable logical frameworks. Traditional approaches often rely on negation to express absence or contradiction. In such contexts,…

We present a first-order linear-time temporal logic for reasoning about the evolution of directed graphs. Its semantics is based on the counterpart paradigm, thus allowing our logic to represent the creation, duplication, merging, and…

One clock alternating timed automata (OCATA) have been introduced as natural extension of (one clock) timed automata to express the semantics of MTL. In this paper, we consider the application of OCATA to the problems of model-checking and…

Boudou and the authors have recently introduced the intuitionistic temporal logic $\sf ITL^e$ and shown it to be decidable. In this article we show that the `henceforth'-free fragment of this logic is complete for the class of…

We show that a flow (timelike congruence) in any type $B_{1}$ warped product spacetime is uniquely and algorithmically determined by the condition of zero flux. (Though restricted, these spaces include many cases of interest.) The flow is…

This paper deals with the 2-D Schr\"odinger equation with time-oscillating exponential nonlinearity $i\partial_t u+\Delta u= \theta(\omega t)\big(e^{4\pi|u|^2}-1\big)$, where $\theta$ is a periodic $C^1$-function. We prove that for a class…
