State explosion in almost-sure probabilistic reachability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the problem of reaching a state set with probability 1 in probabilisticnondeterministic systems operating in parallel is EXPTIME-complete. We then show that this probabilistic reachability problem is EXPTIME-complete also for probabilistic timed automata.

Reachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...
متن کاملTrading Probability for Fairness ( Extended abstract )
Properties of open systems can be modeled as objectives in two-player games. Depending on the interaction between the system and its environment, the games may be either turn-based (transitions of the system and its environment are interleaved) or concurrent (transitions are taken simultaneously). Depending on the properties we model, the objectives may be achieved in a finite game (safety prop...
متن کاملReachability in Networks of Register Protocols under Stochastic Schedulers
We study the almost-sure reachability problem in a distributed system obtained as the asynchronous composition of N copies (called processes) of the same automaton (called protocol), that can communicate via a shared register with finite domain. The automaton has two types of transitions: write-transitions update the value of the register, while read-transitions move to a new state depending on...
متن کاملProving Termination of Probabilistic Programs Using Patterns
Proving programs terminating is a fundamental computer science challenge. Recent research has produced powerful tools that can check a wide range of programs for termination. The analog for probabilistic programs, namely termination with probability one (“almostsure termination”), is an equally important property for randomized algorithms and probabilistic protocols. We suggest a novel algorith...
متن کاملApproximation of Probabilistic Reachability for Chemical Reaction Networks Using the Linear Noise Approximation
We study time-bounded probabilistic reachability for Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) using the Linear Noise Approximation (LNA). The LNA approximates the discrete stochastic semantics of a CRN in terms of a continuous space Gaussian process. We consider reachability regions expressed as intersections of finitely many linear inequalities over the species of a CRN. This restriction allows us to...
