Deciding Weak Weighted Bisimulation

چکیده
Weighted labelled transition systems are LTSs whose transitions are given weights drawn from a commutative monoid, subsuming a wide range of systems with quantitative aspects. In this paper we extend this theory towards other behavioural equivalences, by considering semirings of weights. Taking advantage of this extra structure, we consider a general notion of weak weighted bisimulation, which coincides with the usual weak bisimulations in the cases of non-deterministic and fully-probabilistic systems. We present a general algorithm for deciding weak weighted bisimulation. The procedure relies on certain systems of linear equations over the semiring of weights hence it can be readily instantiated to a wide range of models. We prove that these systems admit a unique solution for ω-continuous semirings.

Deciding Probabilistic Automata Weak Bisimulation in Polynomial Time
Deciding in an efficient way weak probabilistic bisimulation in the context of probabilistic automata is an open problem for about a decade. In this work we close this problem by proposing a procedure that checks in polynomial time the existence of a weak combined transition satisfying the step condition of the bisimulation. This enables us to arrive at a polynomial time algorithm for deciding ...
متن کاملWeak bisimulations for labelled transition systems weighted over semirings
Weighted labelled transition systems are LTSs whose transitions are given weights drawn from a commutative monoid. WLTSs subsume a wide range of LTSs, providing a general notion of strong (weighted) bisimulation. In this paper we extend this framework towards other behavioural equivalences, by considering semirings of weights. Taking advantage of this extra structure, we introduce a general not...
متن کاملWeak Bisimulation for (max/+) Automata and Related Models
In this paper we propose a notion of weak bisimulation for a class of weighted automata with unobservable transitions where weights are taken from an idempotent semiring. In particular the (max/+), (min/+) or (max/min) dioid are considered. The proposed bisimulation is a natural extension of Milner’s well known weak bisimulation for untimed automata (i. e., weighted automata over the boolean se...
متن کاملDeciding Niteness of Petri Nets up to Bisimulation
We study the following problems for strong and weak bisim-ulation equivalence: given a labelled Petri net and a nite transition system, are they equivalent?; given a labelled Petri net, is it equivalent to some (unspeciied) nite transition system? We show that both problems are decidable for strong bisimulation and undecidable for weak bisimulation.
متن کاملDeciding Bisimilarities on Distributions
Probabilistic automata (PA) are a prominent compositional concurrency model. As a way to justify property-preserving abstractions, in the last years, bisimulation relations over probability distributions have been proposed both in the strong and the weak setting. Different to the usual bisimulation relations, which are defined over states, an algorithmic treatment of these relations is inherent...
