Parameter Synthesis for Markov Models: Covering the Parameter Space

S Junges, E Ábrahám, C Hensel, N Jansen… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all
probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …
