Abstract

This paper considers the consistency problem for Parametric Interval Markov Chains. In particular, we introduce a co-inductive definition of consistency, which improves and simplifies previous inductive definitions considerably. The equivalence of the inductive and co-inductive definitions has been formally proved in the interactive theorem prover PVS.
These definitions lead to forward and backward algorithms, respectively, for synthesizing an expression for all parameters for which a given PIMC is consistent. We give new complexity results when tackling the consistency problem for IMCs (i.e. without parameters). We provide a sharper upper bound, based on the longest simple path in the IMC. The algorithms are also optimized, using different techniques (dynamic programming cache, polyhedra representation, etc.). They are evaluated on a prototype implementation. For parameter synthesis, we use Constraint Logic Programming and the PARMA library for convex polyhedra.

Fußnoten
1
In the following, for the sake of readability, we do not consider linear combinations of parameters as bounds of the intervals. However, allowing them would not change the results.
