Abstract

In this paper we introduce \(\mathcal{X}\)TCTL, a dense-time extension of the multi-valued Computation Tree Logic (\(\mathcal{X}\)CTL) in [1]. Alternatively, \(\mathcal{X}\)TCTL is a multi-valued extension of TCTL [2] over quasi-boolean algebras. A multi-valued quotient is defined which enables to reduce dense-time \(\mathcal{X}\)TCTL model checking to the untimed case.
