SAT-based Explicit LTL Reasoning
We present here a new explicit reasoning framework for linear temporal logic
(LTL), which is built on top of propositional satisfiability (SAT) solving. As
a proof-of-concept of this framework, we describe a new LTL satisfiability
tool, Aalta\_v2.0, which is built on top of the MiniSAT SAT solver. We test the
effectiveness of this approach by demonnstrating that Aalta\_v2.0 significantly
outperforms all existing LTL satisfiability solvers. Furthermore, we show that
the framework can be extended from propositional LTL to assertional LTL (where
we allow theory atoms), by replacing MiniSAT with the Z3 SMT solver, and
demonstrating that this can yield an exponential improvement in performance
