Revisiting Resistance Speeds Up I/O-Efficient LTL Model Checking (accepted for publication to TACAS 2008).

Abstract

Revisiting resistant graph algorithms are those that can tolerate re-exploration of edges without yielding incorrect results. Revisiting resistant I/O efficient graph algorithms exhibit considerable speed-up in practice in comparison to non-revisiting resistant algorithms. In the paper we present a new revisiting resistant I/O efficient LTL model checking algorithm. We analyze its theoretical I/O complexity and we experimentally compare its performance to already existing I/O efficient LTL model checking algorithms.
