Given a 3-valued abstraction of a program (possibly generated using static program analysis and predicate abstraction) and a temporal logic formula, generalized model checking (GMC) checks whether there exists a concretization of that abstraction that satisfies the formula. In this paper, we revisit generalized model checking for linear time (LTL) properties. First, we show that LTL GMC is 2EXPTIME-complete in the size of the formula and polynomial in the model, where the degree of the polynomial depends on the formula, instead of EXPTIME-complete and quadratic as previously believed. The standard definition of GMC depends on a definition of concretization which is tailored for branching-time model checking. We then study a simpler
linear completeness preorder
for relating program abstractions. We show that LTL GMC with this weaker preorder is only EXPSPACE-complete in the size of the formula, and can be solved in linear time and logarithmic space in the size of the model. Finally, we identify classes of formulas for which the model complexity of standard GMC is reduced.
