In this paper, we introduce weak bisimulation in the framework of Labeled Concurrent Markov Chains, that is, probabilistic transition systems which exhibit both probabilistic and nondeterministic behavior. By resolving the nondeterminism present, these models can be decomposed into a possibly

We propose a coalgebraic definition of weak bisimulation for a class of coalgebras obtained from bifunctors in Set. Weak bisimilarity for a system is obtained as strong bisimilarity of a transformed system. The transformation consists of two steps: First, the behaviour on actions is expanded

Abstract. We study the use of the elaboration preorder (due to Arun-Kumar and Natarajan) in the framework of up-to techniques for weak bisimulation. We show that elaboration yields a correct technique that encompasses the commonly used up to expansion technique. We also define a theory of up

Abstract. This paper shows that weak bisimulation congruence can be characterised as rooted weak bisimulation equivalence, even without making assumptions on the cardinality of the sets of states or actions of the processes under consideration.

We are interested in describing timed systems that exhibit probabilistic behaviour. To this purpose, we consider a model of Probabilistic Timed Automata and introduce a concept of weak bisimulation for these automata, together with an algorithm to decide it. The weak bisimulation relation is shown

We investigate weak bisimulation of probabilistic systems in the presence of nondeterminism, i.e. labelled concurrent Markov chains (LCMC) with silent transitions. We build on the work of Philippou, Lee and Sokolsky [1] for finite state LCMCs. Their denition of weak bisimulation destroys

This report contains a novel approach to observation equivalence for coalgebras.

Bisimilarity ∼ and weak bisimilarity ≈ are canonical notions of equivalence between processes, which are defined co-inductively, but may be approached – and even reached – by their (transfinite) inductively-defined approximants ∼α and ≈α. For arbitrary processes this approximation may need
