Dear Spot team,
greetings. This is Edmond Irani Liu, a Ph.D student at the Cyber-Physical Systems Group,
Technical University of Munich. First of all, I would say thank you for your effort in
developing such a great platform and tool!
I have been using Spot lately, and have a few questions regarding automata manipulation in
Spot. I attach a Jupyter notebook explaining my use case: we are using spot to compute the
product automata of some LTLf formulas and our system described in Kripke structure.
If I understand this (
https://spot.lrde.epita.fr/tut12.html) page correctly, we need to
append a new state at the end of the system that holds a proposition which becomes
inactive at the end of our system. Could you give us a quick feedback if our formulation
in the notebook is correct? There states z1-z8 are system states, and z9 is the extra
state for Spot to correctly handle LTLf formulas.
As we are trying to obtain the product automaton of a relatively large formula with our
system, we assume that breaking down the formula and paralellizing the computation will
observe a speed up in the computation. We would like to inquire if there exist operations
like taking the union or intersection of the accepting runs of the automata? The concrete
example is illustrated in the note book.
Is there a documentation available somewhere explaining the functions of objects in the
Python wrapper? I tried looking around but couldn't find one explaining those. An
example is also attached.
Thank you for your attention. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Edmond
