Abstract

This paper introduces a novel counterexample generation approach for the verification of discrete-time Markov chains (DTMCs) with two main advantages: (1) We generate abstract counterexamples which can be refined in a hierarchical manner. (2) We aim at minimizing the number of states involved in the counterexamples, and compute a critical subsystem of the DTMC whose paths form a counterexample. Experiments show that with our approach we can reduce the size of counterexamples and the number of computation steps by several orders of magnitude. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
