Abstract

In this paper, we prove some embedding theorems for LTL (linear-time temporal logic) and its variants: viz. some generalisations, extensions and fragments of LTL. Using these embedding theorems, we give uniform proofs of the completeness, cut-elimination and/or decidability theorems for LTL and its variants. The proposed embedding theorems clarify the relationships between some LTL-variations (for example, LTL, a dynamic topological logic, a fixpoint logic, a spatial logic, Prior's logic, Davies' logic and an NP-complete LTL) and some traditional logics (for example, classical logic, intuitionistic logic and infinitary logic).
