Abstract

Probabilistic model checkers like PRISM check the satisfiability of probabilistic CTL (pCTL) formulas against discrete-time Markov chains. We prove soundness and completeness of their underlying algorithm in Isabelle/HOL. We define Markov chains given by a transition matrix and formalize the corresponding probability measure on sets of paths. The formalization of pCTL formulas includes unbounded cumulated rewards.
