On the complexity of computing minimal unsatisfiable LTL formulas

RSS-Feed

Abstract:

We show that (1) the Minimal False QCNF search problem (MF-search) and
the Minimal Unsatisfiable LTL formula search problem (MU-search) are FPSPACE complete because of the very expressive power of QBF/LTL, (2) we extend the PSPACE-hardness of the MF decision problem to the MU decision problem. As a consequence, we deduce a positive answer to the open question of PSPACE hardness of the inherent Vacuity Checking problem.
We even show that the Inherent Non Vacuous formula search problem is also FPSPACE-complete.
