LTLf2DFA is a tool that transforms an LTLf or a PLTLf formula into a minimal Deterministic Finite state Automaton (DFA) using MONA.

It is also available online at ltlf2dfa.diag.uniroma1.it.

Prerequisites

This tool uses MONA for the generation of the DFA. Hence, you should first install MONA with all its dependencies on your system following the instructions here.

This tool is also based on the following libraries:

They are automatically added while installing LTLf2DFA.

Install

pip install ltlf2dfa
  • or, from source (master branch):
pip install git+https://github.com/whitemech/LTLf2DFA.git
  • or, clone the repository and install:
git clone htts://github.com/whitemech/LTLf2DFA.git
cd ltlf2dfa
pip install .

How To Use

  • Parse an LTLf formula:
from ltlf2dfa.parser.ltlf import LTLfParser

parser = LTLfParser()
formula_str = "G(a -> X b)"
formula = parser(formula_str)       # returns an LTLfFormula

print(formula)                      # prints "G(a -> X (b))"
  • Or, parse a PLTLf formula:
from ltlf2dfa.parser.pltlf import PLTLfParser

parser = PLTLfParser()
formula_str = "H(a -> Y b)"
formula = parser(formula_str)       # returns a PLTLfFormula

print(formula)                      # prints "H(a -> Y (b))"
  • Translate a formula to the corresponding DFA automaton:
dfa = formula.to_dfa()
print(dfa)                          # prints the DFA in DOT format

Features

  • Syntax and parsing support for the following formal languages:

    • Propositional Logic;
    • Linear Temporal Logic on Finite Traces;
    • Pure-Past Linear Temporal Logic on Finite Traces.
  • Conversion from LTLf/PLTLf formula to MONA (First-order Logic)

NOTE: LTLf2DFA accepts either LTLf formulas or PLTLf formulas, i.e., formulas that have only past, only future or none operators.
