Abstract

Given a Markov Decision Process (MDP) M, an LTL formula ?, and a threshold ? ? [0, 1], the verification question is to determine if there is a scheduler with respect to which the executions of M satisfying ? have probability greater than (or =) ?. When ? = 0, we call it the qualitative verification problem, and when ? ? (0, 1], we call it the quantitative verification problem. In this paper we study the precise complexity of these problems when the specification is constrained to be in di erent fragments of LTL.
