Syntactic obligations are a fragment of LTL formulas that translate to deterministic weak $ω$-automata (DWA). We show that syntactic obligations can be very efficiently converted to minimal DWA represented using multi-terminal binary decision diagrams (MTBDDs), and that synthesis of such specifications can be solved directly on the MTBDD representation on the fly. Our implementation in Spot shows substantial runtime improvements in translation and synthesis.

LTLf synthesis under partial observability requires reasoning about unobservable environment variables, which is typically handled by constructing a belief-state DFA via subset construction that universally quantifies these variables. Existing approaches perform this construction as a separate step prior to game solving, often generating belief states that are unnecessary in practice. We propose an on-the-fly approach to LTLf synthesis under partial observability based on observable progression. Our method incrementally builds the belief-state DFA by progressing the specification with respect to observable variables only, universally quantifying unobservable variables on the fly. We prove the correctness of the construction and show that it naturally enables on-the-fly game solving, leading to a fully on-the-fly synthesis framework. Our implementation leverages DFAs represented using Multi-Terminal Binary Decision Diagrams: a compact representation that has proven highly effective for LTLf synthesis under full observability. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing methods and further highlight the practical benefits of integrating on-the-fly game solving with belief-state construction.
