Minimisation of Models Satisfying CTL Formulas

Abstract

We study the problem of minimisation of a given finite pointed Kripke model satisfying a given CTL formula, with the only objective to preserve the satisfaction of that formula in the resulting reduced model. We consider minimisations of the model with respect both to state-based redundancies and formula-based redundancies in that model. We develop a procedure computing all such minimisations, illustrate it with some examples, and provide some complexity analysis for it.
