Monodic fragments of probabilistic first-order temporal logic with bounded semantics
We extend (type-2) probabilistic first-order logic with temporal operators, interpreted over fixed-length initial segments of (discrete) time. Given a formula φ of the resulting logic and a natural number N, we ask: is φ satisfiable over a space of length sequences of states (first-order structures)? We show the problem to be decidable for monodic fragments of the logic whose first-order part has a decidable satisfiability problem and we also establish the problem's computational complexity when the first-order part is among some well-known decidable fragments of first-order logic.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical Computer Science is mathematical and abstract in spirit, but it derives its motivation from practical and everyday computation. Its aim is to understand the nature of computation and, as a consequence of this understanding, provide more efficient methodologies. All papers introducing or studying mathematical, logic and formal concepts and methods are welcome, provided that their motivation is clearly drawn from the field of computing.
