Abstract

We introduce the class of rational Kripke models and study symbolic model checking of the basic tense logic K t and some extensions of it on that class. Rational Kripke models are based on (generally infinite) rational graphs, with vertices labeled by the words in some regular language and transitions recognized by asynchronous two-head finite automata, also known as rational transducers. Every atomic proposition in a rational Kripke model is evaluated in a rational set of states. We show that every formula of K t has an effectively computable rational extension in every rational Kripke model, and therefore local model checking and global model checking of K t in rational Kripke models are decidable. These results are lifted to a number of extensions of K t. We study and partly determine the complexity of the model checking procedures.
