We specify an incremental garbage collection algorithm and we give a formal proof of its correctness. The algorithm is represented as an infinite transition system and we establish safety and liveness properties. This work relies on an axiomatization of LTL and is based on a co-inductive representation of programs executions. Although motivated by integrating the dynamic memory management to the Java Card platform, this study applies more generally to real-time embedded systems and to devices with virtually infinite memory.
