摘要
This paper investigates the complexity of Propositional Projection Temporal Logic with Star (PPTL*). To this end, Propositional Projection Temporal Logic (PPTL) is first extended to include projection star. Then, by reducing the emptiness problem of star-free expressions to the problem of the satisfiability of PPTL* formulas, the lower bound of the complexity for the satisfiability of PPTL* formulas is proved to be non-elementary. Then, to prove the decidability of PPTL*, the normal form, normal form graph (NFG) and labelled normal form graph (LNFG) for PPTL* are defined. Also, algorithms for transforming a formula to its normal form and LNFG are presented. Finally, a decision algorithm for checking the satisfiability of PPTL* formulas is formalised using LNFGs.
