Abstract

We introduce bisimulations for the logic ITLe with `next', `until' and\n`release', an intuitionistic temporal logic based on structures equipped with a\npartial order used to interpret intuitionistic implication and a monotone\nfunction used to interpret the temporal modalities. Our main results are that\n`eventually', which is definable in terms of `until', cannot be defined in\nterms of `next' and `henceforth', and similarly that `henceforth', definable in\nterms of `release', cannot be defined in terms of `next' and `until', even over\nthe smaller class of here-and-there models.\n
