Abstract

We consider the problem of model-checking a subset of probabilistic CTL, interpreted over (discrete-time) Markov reward models, allowing the specification of lower bounds on the probability of the set of paths satisfying a cost-bounded path formula.
We first consider a reduction to fixed-point computations on a graph structure that encodes a division of the problem into smaller sub-problems by explicit unfolding of the given formula into sub-formulae. Although correct, the size of the graph constructed is highly dependent on the size of the cost bound.
To this end, we provide a symbolic extension, effectively ensuring independence between the size of the graph and the cost-bound.
