Bisimulation and Hennessy-Milner Logic for Generalized Synchronization Trees (1709.00827v1)
Published 4 Sep 2017 in cs.LO
Abstract: In this work, we develop a generalization of Hennessy-Milner Logic (HML) for Generalized Synchronization Trees (GSTs) that we call Generalized Hennessy Milner Logic (GHML). Importantly, this logic suggests a strong relationship between (weak) bisimulation for GSTs and ordinary bisimulation for Synchronization Trees (STs). We demonstrate that this relationship can be used to define the GST analog for image-finiteness of STs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that certain maximal Hennessy-Milner classes of STs have counterparts in maximal Hennessy-Milner classes of GSTs with respect to GST weak bisimulation. We also exhibit some interesting characteristics of these maximal Hennessy-Milner classes of GSTs.
