This paper relates the well-known Linear Temporal Logic with the logic of
propositional schemata introduced by the authors. We prove that LTL is
equivalent to a class of schemata in the sense that polynomial-time reductions
exist from one logic to the other. Some consequences about complexity are
given. We report about first experiments and the consequences about possible
improvements in existing implementations are analyzed.Comment: Extended version of a paper submitted at TIME 2011: contains proofs,
additional examples & figures, additional comparison between classical
LTL/schemata algorithms up to the provided translations, and an example of
how to do model checking with schemata; 36 pages, 8 figure
