Abstract
We present Rabinizer, a tool for translating formulae of the fragment of linear temporal logic with the operators F (eventually) and G (globally) into deterministic Rabin automata. Contrary to tools like ltl2dstar, which translate the formula into a Büchi automaton and apply Safra’s determinization procedure, Rabinizer uses a direct construction based on the logical structure of the formulae. We describe a number of optimizations of the basic procedure, crucial for the good performance of Rabinizer, and present an experimental comparison.
