A dynamical system is a pair $(X,f)$, where $X$ is a topological space and
$f\colon X\to X$ is continuous. Kremer observed that the language of
propositional linear temporal logic can be interpreted over the class of
dynamical systems, giving rise to a natural intuitionistic temporal logic. We
introduce a variant of Kremer's logic, which we denote ${\sf ITL^c}$, and show
that it is decidable. We also show that minimality and Poincaré recurrence
are both expressible in the language of ${\sf ITL^c}$, thus providing a
decidable logic expressive enough to reason about non-trivial asymptotic
behavior in dynamical systems.
