Control problems in a temporal logic framework
J.G. Thistle, Walter Murray Wonham · International Journal of Control · 1986
Linear-time temporal logic is applied to the verification of control systems. A formal language and proof system are adapted from those used in the verification of concurrent programs by Manna and Pnueli. Properties of some simple control systems are then verified by formally deducing temporal logic specifications of desired behaviour from descriptions of system dynamics. Finally, the usefulness of temporal logic in control theory is discussed and topics for future research are suggested.
