Complexity of a qualitative spatio-temporal logic

Khalil Raymond Chalita

Abstract


In this paper we consider the problem of determining the complexity of a qualitative spatio-temporal language introduced by Wolter and Zakharyaschev, that combines the model of the regions RCC5 to the propositional linear temporal logic. By introducing the concept of f-states and by making use of the constraint satisfaction problems techniques, we show that the satisfiability problem of any formula of this language is PSPACE-complete.
