Abstract

Kozen introduced probabilistic propositional dynamic logic (PPDL) in 1985 as a compositional framework to reason about probabilistic programs. In this paper we study expressiveness for PPDL and provide a series of results analogues to the classical Hennessy-Milner theorem for modal logic. First, we show that PPDL charaterises probabilistic trace equivalence of probabilistic automata (with outputs). Second, we show that PPDL can be mildly extended to yield a characterisation of probabilistic state bisimulation for PPDL models. Third, we provide a different extension of PPDL, this time characterising probabilistic event bisimulation.

概率PDL的Hennessy-Milner结果

1985年，Kozen引入了概率命题动态逻辑(PPDL)，作为对概率程序进行推理的组合框架。本文研究了PPDL的可表达性，并给出了一系列类似于模态逻辑经典Hennessy-Milner定理的结果。首先，我们证明了PPDL表征了概率自动机(带输出)的概率轨迹等价。其次，我们证明PPDL可以适度扩展，以产生PPDL模型的概率状态双模拟的特征。第三，我们提供了PPDL的不同扩展，这次描述了概率事件双模拟。

期刊介绍： ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
