  Synopsis    [Routines for manipulating CTL formulas.]

  Description [This file contains routines for accessing the fields of the CTL
  formula data structure, for printing CTL formulas, for reading CTL formulas
  from a file, and for converting formulas to the existential form.]

  Remarks [There are two types of conversion routines.  One set, for
  mc and amc, converts a formula to existential normal form, i.e. the
  AX, AU and AG operators are converted.  The other set, used in imc,
  converts to simple existential form, a form consisting only of
  E-operators and the boolean operators AND and NOT.

  Simple existential form is incompatible with the mc debug routines,
  because these depend on the specific form of the converted formula
  to decide what the original formula was.

  In the long run, the existential form should probably go, and the
  debug routines should be adapted.  The only drawback of simple
  existential form is that the XOR gets expanded into three nontrivial
  operations, so maybe XOR (or IFF) should be retained. (RB.)]

  Description [Converts a CTL formula to existential form.  That is, all
  universal path quantifiers are replaced with the appropriate combination of
  existential quantifiers and Boolean negation.  Also converts "finally"
  operators to "until" operators.<p>

  <p>Returns a new formula that shares absolutely nothing with the original
  formula (not even the strings). Also, the new formula does not have any MDDs
  associated with it.  The "originalFormula" field of each new subformula is
  set to point to the formula passed as an argument.  In addition, if (and only
  if) the original formula is of type AG, AX, AU, AF, or EF, the "converted
  flag" is set. Returns NULL if called with a NULL formula.

  <p>Note: the debugger takes advantage of the exact way that the conversion is
  done.  Hence, you cannot play around much with the syntax of the converted
  formula.

  <p>A list of conversion rules shouls be included here (RB).

  <br> AG phi turns into !EU(true,! phi'), where the top ! has converted set
  and points to the AG, and phi' points to phi.

  <br> AU?

  <br> AX?

  <br> Any others?

  RB:  What does that mean?

  I understand this as follows.  Copies of the formulae are not made,
  but rather pointers to the argument subformulae are kept.  Hence, not only
  should the formulae in the result not be freed, but also you cannot free the
  argument before you are done with the result.  Furthermore, by invocation of
  this function, the argument gets altered.  It is still valid, but pointers
  may have changed.  Is this correct?


  RB rewrite: A formula in formulaArray is freed if it is encountered as a
  subformula of some other formula. Other formulae in formulaArray might be
  present in the returned array. Therefore, the formulae in formulaArray should
  not be freed. Only formulaArray itself should be freed.]

  Synopsis    [Replaces non-monotonic operators in a formula.]

  Description [This function takes a parse tree for a CTL formula and
  transforms it into another tree that has only monotonic operators.
  The non-monotonic operators are <code>XOR</code> and <code>EQ</code>.
  They are replaced by eqivalent trees.  Specificallt, <code>XOR(a,b)</code>
  is replaced by <code>OR(AND(a,NOT(b)),AND(NOT(a),b))</code> and
  <code>f <-> g</code> is replaced by <code>AND(f->g,g->f)</code>.<p>

  It is important that the original formula be a tree.  The idea is that this
  function should be called right after reading the formulae from file.  Since
  the information attached to the parse tree by the model checking procedures
  is not preserved, it is also important that no such information exists.
  These conditions are checked by an assertion.<p>

  This function does not deal with the forward CTL operators.  Reduction to
  monotonic operators should be performed before conversion to forward CTL.]

  operand.  For (A p U q) or (E p U q), where p and q are both simple, p is the
  important operand.  For unary formulae, the only child is the important
  operand.  This function works also for ACTL formulae that are not in w-ACTL,
  and for which smallest important subformulae are not unique.
