General Method

In this paper we deal with a well known problem of specifying abstract data types. Up to now there were many approaches to this problem. We follow the axiomatic style of specifying abstract data types (cf. e.g. [1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10]). We apply, however, the first-order temporal logic. We introduce a notion of first-order completeness of axiomatic specifications and show a general method for obtaining first-order complete axiomatizations. Some examples illustrate the method.

Obvious Manner

A simple extension of the propositional temporal logic of linear<br />time is proposed. The extension consists of strengthening the until<br />operator by indexing it with the regular programs of propositional<br />dynamic logic (PDL). It is shown that DLTL, the resulting logic, is<br />expressively equivalent to S1S, the monadic second-order theory<br />of omega-sequences. In fact a sublogic of DLTL which corresponds<br />to propositional dynamic logic with a linear time semantics is<br />already as expressive as S1S. We pin down in an obvious manner<br />the sublogic of DLTL which correponds to the first order fragment<br />of S1S. We show that DLTL has an exponential time decision<br />procedure. We also obtain an axiomatization of DLTL. Finally,<br />we point to some natural extensions of the approach presented<br />here for bringing together propositional dynamic and temporal<br />logics in a linear time setting.
