Introduction

gr1c is a collection of tools for GR(1) synthesis and related activities. Its core functionality is checking realizability of and synthesizing strategies for GR(1) specifications, though it does much more.

The public Git repo can be cloned from https://github.com/tulip-control/gr1c.git Documentation for the latest release is at https://tulip-control.github.io/gr1c Bug reports, feature requests, and substantial comments can be submitted via the project issue tracker or via email to the authors.

Executable files for several operating systems (GNU/Linux, Windows, etc.) are available for download in recent releases on GitHub. If you do not find yours there, please ask about it.

Examples and Documentation

Many examples are provided. Begin by reading examples/README.md.

The main documentation is built from .md files under the doc directory and API comments in the source code. It is possible to read these files directly, i.e., without building and browsing HTML files.

make doc

will run Doxygen and place the result in doc/build. Formulae are rendered using MathJax.

Building and installation

We use GitHub Actions to build and test gr1c from the current source code in the repository. Current status:

Dependencies

• CUDD, the CU Decision Diagram package by Fabio Somenzi et al. (also read the introduction, and note that the original link for CUDD is http://vlsi.colorado.edu/~fabio/CUDD/)

Optional

The following are optional dependencies. Each item is followed by a summary of what is to be gained by building gr1c with it.

• GNU Readline, for an enhanced command prompt during interactive sessions. Note that there is a built-in prompt.

• GraphViz, for strategy visualization from the output format type dot.

Building from Source

Detailed installation instructions are in the repository at doc/installation.md For the most recent release, a copy of these instructions is on the Web at https://tulip-control.github.io/gr1c/md_installation.html

For Linux x86_64 and Mac OSX, try the following.

./get-deps.sh
./build-deps.sh
make
make check

Consider using make -j N where N is the number of jobs to run simultaneously. The last command runs a test suite. Each testing step is reported if the environment variable VERBOSE is set to 1. E.g., try VERBOSE=1 make check. Finally,

make install

The default installation prefix is /usr/local. Adjust it by invoking make with something like prefix=/your/new/path.
