Re: [tlaplus] Re: Model Checking "Termination" Property

Hello,

in reply to your original question: without fairness conditions, any specification admits executions that stutter forever. For such a specification Spec,

Spec => <>P is valid only if Spec => P

is, that is, if the property P holds initially.

There are many examples for checking termination and liveness properties. A simple one is the N-Queens specification [1].

For more information about fairness and liveness in TLA, you may want to watch episode 9 of the video lectures [2].

Regards,

Stephan

If there is any example on checking the termination of algorithms that I can use, please kindly let me know. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to use TLC to check termination property without specifying any fairness in a spec?

I have been trying to check a termination property but it looks like it keeps failing due to stuttering steps!!!
