There is recently a significant effort to add quantitative objectives to formal verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal logics with quantitative atomic assertions, aiming for a general and flexible framework for quantitative-oriented specifications. In the heart of quantitative objectives lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is either the accumulated summation, as with the energy objectives, or the accumulated average, as with the…

By extending the automata-theoretic approach for LTL to a setting that takes quality into an account, it is able to solve the above problems and show that reasoning about LTL has roughly the same complexity as reasoning about traditional LTL.
Synthesis for Multi-weighted Games with Branching-Time Winning Conditions

This work encodes both problems to the calculation of maximal fixed points on dependency graphs, thus achieving on-the-fly algorithms with the possibility of early termination in both the model checking problem and the synthesis problem.
Controller Synthesis for MDPs and Frequency LTL\GU

Quantitative extensions of temporal logics have recently attracted significant attention. In this work, we study frequency LTL (fLTL), an extension of LTL which allows to speak about frequencies of

Two quantitative extensions of Linear Temporal Logic are introduced, one by propositional quality operators and one by discounting operators, and the usefulness of both extensions is demonstrated and the decidability and complexity of the decision and search problems for them are studied.
GCTL∗ is much more expressive than CTL∗ as it adds to it a form of quantitative reasoning, and this is done at no extra cost in computational complexity.
A Temporal Logic with Mean-Payoff Constraints

This paper proposes an extension of LTL that describes mean-payoff constraints, and develops an algorithm for the emptiness problems of multi-dimensional payoff automata with Buchi acceptance conditions and multi-threshold mean- payoff acceptance conditions.
Weight monitoring with linear temporal logic: complexity and decidability
• Computer Science
CSL-LICS
• 2014
This paper introduces an extension of linear time logic including past (LTL) with new operators that impose constraints on the accumulated weight along path fragments that cover properties expressible by several recently proposed formalisms.
Discounting in LTL

• 2014
One direction in this effort is to refine the “eventually” operators of temporal logic to discounting operators: the satisfaction value of a specification is a value in [0,1], where the longer it takes to fulfill eventuality requirements, the smaller the satisfactionvalue is.

This work studies frequency LTL fLTL, an extension of LTL which allows to speak about frequencies of events along an execution which is particularly useful for probabilistic systems that often cannot fulfil strict qualitative guarantees on the behaviour.
Quantitative Interprocedural Analysis

The quantitative analysis problem for interprocedural control-flow graphs can be solved in polynomial time, and the framework provides a sound approach (no false positives) for the analysis of inefficiently-used containers.

It is shown that mCTL* is as expressive, but exponentially more succinct, than CTL*, and that the ability of m CTL* to refer to the present is essential for this equivalence.

This paper extends model-checking to stochastic real-time systems, whose behavior depends on probabilistic choice and quantitative time, with a model that can express constraints like “the delay between the request and the response is distributed uniformly between 2 to 4 seconds”.

Sometimes and Not Never Re-revisited: On Branching Versus Linear Time
Two approaches that relate branching and linear model checking are described, one motivated by the fact that the alternation-free Μ-calculus, which is more expressive than CTL, has the same computational advantage as CTL when it comes to model checking.
