Combining probabilistic and non-deterministic choice via weak distributive laws

A Goy, D Petrişan - Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Combining probabilistic choice and non-determinism is a long standing problem in
denotational semantics. From a category theory perspective, the problem stems from the …

Expressive quantale-valued logics for coalgebras: an adjunction-based approach

H Beohar, S Gurke, B König, K Messing… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We address the task of deriving fixpoint equations from modal logics characterizing
behavioural equivalences and metrics (summarized under the term conformances). We rely …

The theory of traces for systems with nondeterminism and probability

F Bonchi, A Sokolova… - 2019 34th Annual ACM …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper studies trace-based equivalences for systems combining nondeterministic and
probabilistic choices. We show how trace semantics for such processes can be recovered by …

Monads and quantitative equational theories for nondeterminism and probability

M Mio, V Vignudelli - arXiv preprint arXiv:2005.07509, 2020 - arxiv.org
The monad of convex sets of probability distributions is a well-known tool for modelling the
combination of nondeterministic and probabilistic computational effects. In this work we lift …

Effect semantics for quantum process calculi

L Ceragioli, F Gadducci, G Lomurno… - 35th International …, 2024 - drops.dagstuhl.de
The development of quantum communication protocols sparked the interest in quantum
extensions of process calculi and behavioural equivalences, but defining a bisimilarity that …

A completeness theorem for probabilistic regular expressions

W Różowski, A Silva - Proceedings of the 39th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We introduce Probabilistic Regular Expressions (PRE), a probabilistic analogue of regular
expressions denoting probabilistic languages in which every word is assigned a probability …

Graded Monads and Graded Logics for the Linear Time--Branching Time Spectrum

U Dorsch, S Milius, L Schröder - arXiv preprint arXiv:1812.01317, 2018 - arxiv.org
State-based models of concurrent systems are traditionally considered under a variety of
notions of process equivalence. In the particular case of labelled transition systems, these …

Layer by layer–combining monads

F Dahlqvist, L Parlant, A Silva - … Aspects of Computing–ICTAC 2018: 15th …, 2018 - Springer
We develop a modular method to build algebraic structures. Our approach is categorical: we
describe the layers of our construct as monads, and combine them using distributive laws …

Combining nondeterminism, probability, and termination: equational and metric reasoning

M Mio, R Sarkis, V Vignudelli - 2021 36th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study monads resulting from the combination of nondeterministic and probabilistic
behaviour with the possibility of termination, which is essential in program semantics. Our …

Characteristic logics for behavioural metrics via fuzzy lax extensions

P Wild, L Schröder - 31st International Conference on …, 2020 - drops.dagstuhl.de
Behavioural distances provide a fine-grained measure of equivalence in systems involving
quantitative data, such as probabilistic, fuzzy, or metric systems. Like in the classical setting …
