Markov chains and unambiguous automata

نویسندگان

چکیده

Unambiguous automata are nondeterministic in which every word has at most one accepting run. In this paper we give a polynomial-time algorithm for model checking discrete-time Markov chains against ω-regular specifications represented as unambiguous automata. We furthermore show that the complexity of problem lies NC: subclass P comprising those problems solvable poly-logarithmic parallel time. These bounds match known given deterministic automata, notwithstanding fact can be exponentially more succinct than report on an implementation our procedure, including experiment is used to check LTL formulas chains.

Markov Chains and Unambiguous Büchi Automata

Unambiguous automata, i.e., nondeterministic automata with the restriction of having at most one accepting run over a word, have the potential to be used instead of deterministic automata in settings where nondeterministic automata can not be applied in general. In this paper, we provide a polynomially time-bounded algorithm for probabilistic model checking of discrete-time Markov chains agains...

Model Checking Markov Chains Against Unambiguous Buchi Automata

An automaton is unambiguous if each word has at most one accepting run and separated if no word is accepted from two distinct states. The classical translation of LTL formulas to Büchi automata [5] produces unambiguous separated automata since the states of such automata correspond to complete subformula types. Motivated by this observation, Couvreur et al. [3] present a polynomialtime algorith...

Unambiguous Automata

We give a new presentation of two results concerning synchronized automata. The first one gives a linear bound on the synchronization delay of complete local automata. The second one gives a cubic bound for the minimal length of a synchronizing pair in a complete synchronized unambiguous automaton. The proofs are based on results on unambiguous monoids of relations. Mathematics Subject Classifi...

p-Automata: Acceptors for Markov Chains

We present p-automata, which accept an entire Markovchain as input. Acceptance is determined by solving a se-quence of stochastic weak and weak games. The set oflanguages of Markov chains obtained in this way is closedunder Boolean operations. Language emptiness and con-tainment are equi-solvable, and languages themselves areclosed under bisimulation. A Markov chain (res...

Structurally Unambiguous Finite Automata

We define a structurally unambiguous finite automaton (SUFA) to be a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) with one starting state q0 such that for all input strings w and for any state q, there is at most one path from q0 to q that consumes w. The definition of SUFA differs from the usual definition of an unambiguous finite automaton (UFA) in that the new definition is defined in terms of th...
