Abstract
We expand the applicability of the clausal resolution technique to the branching-time temporal logic ECTL+. ECTL+ is strictly more expressive than the basic computation tree logic CTL and its extension, ECTL, as it allows Boolean combinations of fairness and single temporal operators. We show how any ECTL+ formula can be translated to a normal form the structure of which was initially defined for CTL and then used for ECTL. This enables us to apply to ECTL+ a resolution technique defined over the set of clauses. Both correctness of the method and complexity of the transformation procedure are given.
