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 HennessyMilner 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.
