Abstract

Theorem proving is a widely used approach to the verification of computer systems, and its theoretical basis is generally a proof system for formal derivation of logic formulas. In this paper, we propose a proof system for Propositional Projection Temporal Logic (PPTL) with indexed expressions, which is a unified temporal logic that subsumes the well-used Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). First, the syntax, semantics and logic laws of PPTL that allows indexed expressions are introduced, and the representation of LTL constructs by PPTL formulas is shown. Then, the proof system for the logic is presented which consists of axioms and inference rules for the derivation of both basic constructs and indexed expressions of PPTL. To show the capability of the proof system, several examples of formal proofs are provided. Finally, the soundness of the proof system is demonstrated.
