Computation Tree Logic (CTL)

Computation Tree Logic (CTL) is a formal framework used to describe and analyze how systems, like computer programs or digital circuits, behave over time. It allows us to specify properties such as "eventually, a process will succeed" or "once a condition is true, it remains true." CTL uses a branching structure to represent all possible future states of the system, enabling verification of system correctness by checking if these properties hold across all possible execution paths. It is a powerful tool in designing reliable systems, ensuring they behave as intended in every scenario.
