And-or tableaux for fixpoint logics with converse: LTL, CTL, PDL and CPDL

Over the last forty years, computer scientists have invented or borrowed numerous logics for reasoning about digital systems. Here, I would like to concentrate on three of them: Linear Time Temporal Logic (LTL), branching time Computation Tree temporal Logic (CTL), and Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL), with and without converse. More specifically, I would like to present results and techniques on how to solve the satisfiability problem in these logics, with global assumptions, using the tableau method. The issues that arise are the typical tensions between computational complexity, practicality and scalability. This is joint work with Linh Anh Nguyen, Pietro Abate, Linda Postniece, Florian Widmann and Jimmy Thomson
