Abstract
We propose several automata-based constructions that check whether a specification is stutter-invariant. These constructions assume that a specification and its negation can be translated into Büchi automata, but aside from that, they are independent of the specification formalism. These transformations were inspired by a construction due to Holzmann and Kupferman, but that we broke down into two operations that can have different realizations, and that can be combined in different ways. As it turns out, implementing only one of these operations is needed to obtain a functional stutter-invariant check. Finally we have implemented these techniques in a tool so that users can easily check whether an LTL or PSL formula is stutter-invariant.
