Comparative branching-time semantics for Markov chains (extended abstract). Baier, C., Hermanns, H., Katoen, J., & Wolf, V. Volume 2761 , 2003.
abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents various semantics in the branching-time spectrum of discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains (DTMCs and CTMCs). Strong and weak bisimulation equivalence and simulation pre-orders are covered and are logically characterised in terms of the temporal logics PCTL and CSL. Apart from presenting various existing branching-time relations in a uniform manner, our contributions are: (i) weak simulation for DTMCs is defined, (ii) weak bisimulation equivalence is shown to coincide with weak simulation equivalence, (iii) logical characterisation of weak (bi)simulations are provided, and (iv) a classification of branching-time relations is presented, elucidating the semantics of DTMCs, CTMCs and their interrelation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
