subsection ‹Finite Conjunctions and Disjunctions in PLTL›

(* It would be tempting to define these operators as follows:

definition OR where "OR Φ = Finite_Set.fold or false Φ"
definition AND where "AND Φ = Finite_Set.fold and true Φ"

However, this would only work if "or" and "and" were left-commutative,
which they are not (syntactically). We must therefore resort to
the more general fold_graph predicate, effectively picking a
conjunction (or disjunction) in arbitrary order. 

An alternative would be to define these generalized operators
over lists of formulas, but working with sets is more natural
in the following.

text ‹
  Comparing the definition of the next-free formula in the case of
  formulas Xp φ› with the one that appears in~cite"peled:ltl-x",
  there is a subtle difference. Peled and Wilke define the second disjunct as
  a disjunction of formulas
%
  \begin{center}\(
    (chi val) Up (ψ andp (chi val'))›
  \)\end{center}
%
  for subsets val, val' ⊆ A› whereas we conjoin the formula
  chi val› to the ``until'' formula. This conjunct is indeed
  necessary in order to rule out the case of the ``until'' formula
  being true because of chi val'› being true immediately.
  The subtle error in the definition of the formula was acknowledged 
  by Peled and Wilke and apparently had not been noticed since the 
  publication of~cite"peled:ltl-x" in 1996 (which has been cited more
  than a hundred times according to Google Scholar). Although the error
  was corrected easily, the fact that authors, reviewers, and readers
  appear to have missed it for so long underscores the usefulness of
  formal proofs.

  We now show that any stuttering invariant PLTL formula
  can be expressed without the Xp operator.
