\subsubsection{Linear Time Properties (LTL)} We refer to Section~\ref{sec:ltl} for intuition, as these tend to mostly be intuition exercises. For doing verification of liveness / safety properties using \texttt{spin} and Promela, the operators are translated to Promela as follows: \verb+[] <> ! && || -> U+ for $\square \Diamond \neg \land \lor \Rightarrow U$, respectively. In addition, we have the equality operator as a primitive propositional formula. We have \texttt{p == true} for $p$ in the operators. Execute \texttt{spin -a file.pml}, followed by \texttt{gcc pan.c} and \texttt{./a.out}. As a reminder, these are the operators (details in Section~\ref{sec:ltl-details}): \begin{itemize} \item Now: $p$ states that the proposition is true ``\textit{now}'' \item Holds until: $\Phi U \Psi$ states that $\Phi$ holds (with no other valid proposition holding between) until $\Psi$ holds. \item Next: $\bigcirc \Phi$ states that $\Phi$ holds for the ``next'' \item Eventually: $\Diamond \Phi$ states that $\Phi$ holds \textit{eventually}, $\Diamond \Phi \equiv (\texttt{true} U \Phi)$ \item Always (from now on): $\square \Phi$ states that from now on, $\Phi$ will always hold, $\square \Phi \equiv \neg \Diamond \neg \Phi$ \end{itemize} For the implication (where the left hand side is called the \textit{antecedent}, right hand side is called the \textit{consequent}), remember to show the case where the antecedent is true and state that for antecedent false, it is trivially true Another important remark is that you can't just write $\Diamond \neg s_1$, where $s_1$ is a state, you need to specify the propositions. \subparagraph{Liveness and Safety Properties} Proofs here run using the definitions directly, either by showing a counter example (for disproving) or showing that, in fact, the definition holds. Indirect proofs may also come in handy, because it is typically easier to show that something is not a safety property (or liveness property) that to show that it is.
