Why Liveness for Timed Automata Is Hard, and What We Can Do About It

Abstract
The liveness problem for timed automata asks if a given automaton has a run passing infinitely often through an accepting state. We show that unless P=NP, the liveness problem is more difficult than the reachability problem; more precisely, we exhibit a family of automata for which solving the reachability problem with the standard algorithm is in P but solving the liveness problem is NP-hard. This leads us to revisit the algorithmics for the liveness problem. We propose a notion of a witness for the fact that a timed automaton violates a liveness property. We give an algorithm for computing such a witness and compare it with the existing solutions.
