Summary: We present a formalization of a translation from LTL formulae to generalized Büchi automata in the HOL4 theorem prover. Translations from temporal logics to automata are at the core of model checking algorithms based on automata-theoretic techniques. The translation we verify proceeds in two steps: it produces very weak alternating automata at an intermediate stage, and then ultimately produces a generalized Büchi automaton. After verifying both transformations, we also encode both of these automata models using a generic, functional graph type, and use the CakeML compiler to generate fully verified machine code implementing the translation.
