We present Rabinizer 4, a tool set for translating formulae of linear temporal logic to different types of deterministic $$\omega$$-automata. The tool set implements and optimizes several recent constructions, including the first implementation translating the frequency extension of LTL. Further, we provide a distribution of PRISM that links Rabinizer and offers model checking procedures for probabilistic systems that are not in the official PRISM distribution. Finally, we evaluate the…
ltl3tela: LTL to Small Deterministic or Nondeterministic Emerson-Lei Automata
• Computer Science
ATVA
• 2019
Experimental evaluation shows that ltl3tela can produce deterministic automata that are, on average, noticeably smaller than deterministic TELA produced by state-of-the-art translators Delag, Rabinizer 4, and Spot.
Efficient Translation of Safety LTL to DFA Using Symbolic Automata Learning and Inductive Inference
• Computer Science
SAFECOMP
• 2020
A symbolic adaptation of the $$L^*$$ active learning algorithm tailored to efficiently translate safety LTL properties into symbolic DFA and demonstrates how an inductive inference procedure can be used to provide additional input to the algorithm that greatly improves performance for certain important families of properties.
Generic Emptiness Check for Fun and Profit

• 2019
We present a new algorithm for checking the emptiness of $$\omega$$-automata with an Emerson-Lei acceptance condition (i.e., a positive Boolean formula over sets of states or transitions that must
A Unified Translation of Linear Temporal Logic to ω-Automata
Evidence is given that this theoretical clean and compositional approach does not lead to large automata per se and in fact in the case of DRAs yields significantly smaller automata compared to the previously known approach using determinisation of NBAs.
A Unified Translation of Linear Temporal Logic to ω-Automata
• Computer Science
• 2020
A unified translation of LTL formulas into nondeterministic Buchi automata, limit-deterministic LTL automata (LDBA), and deterministic Rabin Automata (DRA) is presented.
LTL to Smaller Self-Loop Alternating Automata and Back
• Computer Science
ICTAC
• 2019
This paper considers SLAA with generic transition-based Emerson-Lei acceptance and presents translations of LTL to these automata and back, which produces considerably smaller automata than previous translations ofLTL to Buchi or co-Buchi SLAA.
Eventually Safe Languages
• Computer Science
DLT
• 2019
It is shown that GFG automata still enjoy exponential succinctness for LTL-definable languages and introduces a class of properties called “eventually safe” together with a specification language $$E \nu \mathrm {TL}$$ for this class.
Model checking with generalized Rabin and Fin-less automata
• Computer Science
International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer
• 2019
This paper investigates whether using a more general form of acceptance, namely a transition-based generalized Rabin automaton (TGRA), improves the model checking procedure and introduces a Fin-less acceptance condition, which is a disjunction of TGBAs.
New Optimizations and Heuristics for Determinization of Büchi Automata
• Computer Science
ATVA
• 2019
In this work, we present multiple new optimizations and heuristics for the determinization of Buchi automata that exploit a number of semantic and structural properties, most of which may be applied

This paper presents a tool for translating LTL formulae into deterministic ω-automata, the first tool that covers the whole LTL that does not use Safra’s determinization or any of its variants, and shows that this leads to significant speed-up of probabilistic LTL model checking, especially with the generalized Rabin automata.
