Engineering an LTLf synthesis tool

#LTLf #Synthesis #Automata #Formal Methods

Abstract

The problem of LTLf reactive synthesis is to build a transducer, whose output is based on a history of inputs, such that, for every infinite sequence of inputs, the conjoint evolution of the inputs and outputs has a prefix that satisfies a given LTLf specification.

We describe the implementation of an LTLf synthesizer that outperforms existing tools on our benchmark suite. This is based on a new, direct translation from LTLf to a DFA represented as an array of Binary Decision Diagrams (MTBDDs) sharing their nodes. This MTBDD-based representation can be interpreted directly as a reachability game that is solved on-the-fly during its construction.
