Abstract

A simple decision deductive-based procedure for the so- called clausal miniscoped fragment of a first-order linear temporal logic with temporal operators Next and Always is presented. The soundness and completeness of the proposed decision procedure is proved.

I am greatly indebted to Professor M.Fisher and Dr. A. Degtiarev for their useful scientific discussions and remarks during my fellowship (May-July, 2000) at Manchester Metropolitan University. I would like to thank also the anonymous reviewers for helpful comments.
