The language of linear temporal logic can be interpreted over the class of dynamic topological systems, giving rise to the intuitionistic temporal logic ${{\sf ITL}^{\sf c}}_{\Diamond,\forall}$, recently shown to be decidable by Fernández-Duque. In this article we axiomatize this logic, some fragments, and prove completeness for several familiar spaces.
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 non-deterministic quasimodels introduced by Fernández-Duque. From this and results of Boudou, Romero and the authors, we conclude that this fragment is also complete for the standard semantics of $\sf ITL^e$ over the class of expanding posets.
We propose four axiomatic systems for intuitionistic linear temporal logic and show that each of these systems is sound for a class of structures based either on Kripke frames or on dynamic topological systems. Our topological semantics features a new interpretation for the `henceforth' modality that is a natural intuitionistic variant of the classical one. Using the soundness results, we show that the four logics obtained from the axiomatic systems are distinct. Finally, we show that when the language is restricted to the `henceforth'-free fragment, the set of valid formulas for the relational and topological semantics coincide.
We introduce the logic $\sf ITL^e$, an intuitionistic temporal logic based on structures $(W,\preccurlyeq,S)$, where $\preccurlyeq$ is used to interpret intuitionistic implication and $S$ is a $\preccurlyeq$-monotone function used to interpret temporal modalities. Our main result is that the satisfiability and validity problems for $\sf ITL^e$ 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, $\sf ITL^p$, whose models are similar to Cartesian products. We prove that, unlike $\sf ITL^e$, $\sf ITL^p$ does not have the finite model property.
In this note we consider the problem of introducing variables in temporal logic programs under the formalism of "Temporal Equilibrium Logic" (TEL), an extension of Answer Set Programming (ASP) for dealing with linear-time modal operators. To this aim, we provide a definition of a first-order version of TEL that shares the syntax of first-order Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) but has a different semantics, selecting some LTL models we call "temporal stable models". Then, we consider a subclass of theories (called "splittable temporal logic programs") that are close to usual logic programs but allowing a restricted use of temporal operators. In this setting, we provide a syntactic definition of "safe variables" that suffices to show the property of "domain independence" -- that is, addition of arbitrary elements in the universe does not vary the set of temporal stable models. Finally, we present a method for computing the derivable facts by constructing a non-temporal logic program with variables that is fed to a standard ASP grounder. The information provided by the grounder is then used to generate a subset of ground temporal rules which is equivalent to (and generally smaller than) the full program instantiation.
