Accurately computing expected visiting times and stationary distributions in Markov chains

H Mertens, JP Katoen, T Quatmann… - … Conference on Tools and …, 2024 - Springer
We study the accurate and efficient computation of the expected number of times each state
is visited in discrete-and continuous-time Markov chains. To obtain sound accuracy …

Graph-based reductions for parametric and weighted MDPS

K Engelen, GA Pérez, S Rao - International Symposium on Automated …, 2023 - Springer
We study the complexity of reductions for weighted reachability in parametric Markov
decision processes. That is, we say a state p is never worse than q if for all valuations of the …
