Verifying ω-Regular Properties of Markov Chains
In this work we focus on model checking of probabilistic models. Probabilistic models are widely used to describe randomized protocols. A Markov chain induces a probability measure on sets of computations. The notion of correctness now becomes probabilistic. We solve here the general problem of lineartime probabilistic model checking with respect to ω-regular specifications. As specification fo...
متن کاملMeeting times for independent Markov chains
Let (X,) be an irreducible continuous-time pure jump Markov chain on finite state space I = {i, j, k, . . .} with stationary distribution n: Classical theory says P(X, = j) + 3 as t -+ CO for all j, regardless of the initial distribution. The modern ‘coupling’ proof goes as follows. Let (Y,) be an independent copy of the chain. Then (X,, Y,), considered as a chain on I x I, is irreducible and h...
متن کاملOn Markov Chains for Independent Sets
Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hard-core model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets, which we refer to as the Luby–Vigoda chain. A new rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets is defined in this paper. Using path coupling, we obtain a polynomial upper bound for the mixing tim...
متن کاملTaylor Expansion for the Entropy Rate of Hidden Markov Chains
We study the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process, defined by observing the output of a symmetric channel whose input is a first order Markov process. Although this definition is very simple, obtaining the exact amount of entropy rate in calculation is an open problem. We introduce some probability matrices based on Markov chain's and channel's parameters. Then, we try to obtain an estimate ...
متن کاملThe Rate of Rényi Entropy for Irreducible Markov Chains
In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.
