An improved on-the-fly tableau construction for a real-time temporal logic

Temporal logic is popular for specifying correctness properties of reactive systems. Real-time temporal logics add the ability to express quantitative timing aspects. Tableau constructions are algorithms that translate a temporal logic formula into a finite-state automaton that accepts precisely all the models of the formula. On-the-fly versions of tableau-constructions enable their practical application for model-checking. In a previous paper we presented an on-the-fly tableaux construction for a fragment of Metric Interval Temporal Logic in dense time. The interpretation of the logic was constrained to a special kind of timed state sequences, with intervals that are always left-closed and right-open. In this paper we present a non-trivial extension to this tableau construction for the same logic fragment, that lifts this constraint
