摘要
This paper investigates the expressiveness of Propositional Projection Temporal Logic with Star (PPTL*). To this end, Buchi automata and omega-regular expressions are first extended as Stutter Buchi Automata (SBA) and Extended Regular Expressions (ERE) to include both finite and infinite strings. Further, by equivalent transformations among PPTL* formulas, SBAs and EREs. PPTL* is proved to represent exactly the full regular language. Moreover, some fragments of PPTL* are characterized, and finally, PPTL* and its fragments are classified into five different language classes. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
