Model Checking Probabilistic Knowledge: A PSPACE Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
Model checking probabilistic knowledge of memoryful semantics is undecidable, even for a simple formula concerning the reachability of probabilistic knowledge of a single agent. This result suggests that the usual approach of tackling undecidable model checking problems, by finding syntactic restrictions over the logic language, may not suffice. In this paper, we propose to work with an additional restriction that agent’s knowledge concerns a special class of atomic propositions. A PSPACE-complete case is identified with this additional restriction, for a logic language combining LTL with limit-sure knowledge of a single agent.

Verifying probabilistic system with EpCTL
A temporal logic for reasoning about probabilistic systems is considered exogenous probabilistic computation tree logic (EpCTL). Both a syntactic and a semantic approach to verify systems with EpCTL are introduced. For the first approach a (weakly) complete Hilbert calculus is given. The completeness result capitalizes in the decidability of the existential theory of the real numbers and in a P...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Semantics for Timed Automata
Like most models used in model-checking, timed automata are an ideal mathematical model to represent systems with strong timing requirements. In such mathematical models, properties can be violated, due to unlikely events. Following ideas of Varacca and Völzer [VV06], we aim at defining a notion of “fair” correctness for timed systems. For this purpose, we introduce a probabilistic semantics fo...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Verification of Recursive Probabilistic State Machines
Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) ([EY04]) are a natural abstract model of procedural probabilistic programs and related systems involving recursion and probability. They succinctly define a class of denumerable Markov chains that generalize multi-type branching (stochastic) processes. In this paper, we study the problem of model checking an RMC against a given ω-regular specification. Namely, giv...
متن کاملModel Checking Knowledge and Linear Time: PSPACE Cases
We present a general algorithm scheme for model checking logics of knowledge, common knowledge and linear time, based on simulations to a class of structures that capture the way that agents update their knowledge. We show that the scheme leads to PSPACE implementations of model checking the logic of knowledge and linear time in several special cases: perfect recall systems with a single agent ...
متن کاملModel Checking Knowledge and Time in Systems with Perfect Recall (Extended Abstract)
This paper studies model checking for the modal logic of knowledge and linear time in distributed systems with perfect recall. It is shown that this problem (1) is undecidable for a language with operators for until and common knowledge, (2) is PSPACE-complete for a language with common knowledge but without until, (3) has non-elementary upper and lower bounds for a language with until but with...
