Abstract:
We consider Verification problems, such as the Equivalence of Automata, Probabilistic Automata, and MDP's (Markov Decision Processes). The enumeration problem consists in enumerating words which distinguish two Automata and strategies which distinguish two MDPs. As these problems are hard in some sense, we present probabilistic methods in the case of Probabilistic Automata and Approximate methods (in the sense of Property Testing) for Automata and MDP's.
