Abstract:The semantics of probabilistic languages has been extensively studied, but specification languages for their properties have received little attention. This paper introduces the probabilistic dynamic logic pDL, a specification logic for programs in the probabilistic guarded command language (pGCL) of McIver and Morgan. The proposed logic pDL can express both first-order state properties and probabilistic reachability properties, addressing both the non-deterministic and probabilistic choice operators of pGCL. … Show more
