In the paper Relating Strong Behavioral Equivalences for Processes with Nondeterminism and Probabilities to appear in TCS, we present a comparison of behavioral equivalences for nondeterministic and probabilistic processes. In particular, we consider strong trace, failure, testing, and bisimulation equivalences. For each of these groups of equivalences, we examine the discriminating power of three variants stemming from three approaches that differ for the way probabilities of events are compared when nondeterministic choices are resolved via deterministic schedulers. The established relationships are summarized in a so-called spectrum. However, the equivalences we consider in that paper are only a small subset of those considered in the original spectrum of equivalences for nondeterministic systems introduced by Rob van Glabbeek. In this companion paper we we enlarge the spectrum by considering variants of trace equivalences (completed-trace equivalences), additional decorated-trace equivalences (failure-trace, readiness, and ready-trace equivalences), and variants of bisimulation equivalences (kernels of simulation, completed-simulation, failure-simulation, and ready-simulation preorders). Moreover, we study how the spectrum changes when randomized schedulers are used instead of deterministic ones.

We present a spectrum of trace-based, testing, and bisimulation equivalences for nondeterministic and probabilistic processes whose activities are all observable. For every equivalence under study, we examine the discriminating power of three variant s stemming from three approaches that differ for the way probabilities of events are compared when nondeterministic choices are resolved via deterministic schedulers. We show that the first approach - which compares two resolutions relatively to the probability distributions of all considered events - results in a fragment of the spectrum compatible with the spectrum of behavioral equivalences for fully probabilistic processes. In contrast, the second approach - which compares the probabilities of the events of a resolution with the probabilities of the same events in possibly different resolutions - gives rise to another fragment composed of coarser equivalences that exhibits several analogies with the spectrum of behavioral equivalences for fully nondeterministic processes. Finally, the third approach - which only compares the extremal probabilities of each event stemming from the different resolutions - yields even coarser equivalences that, however, give rise to a hierarchy similar to that stemming from the second approach.

May and must testing were introduced by De Nicola and Hennessy to define semantic equivalences on processes. May-testing equivalence exactly captures safety properties, and must-testing equivalence liveness properties. This paper proposes reward test ing and shows that the resulting semantic equivalence also captures conditional liveness properties. It is strictly finer than both the may- and must-testing equivalence.

We study resource similarity and resource bisimilarity -- congruent restrictions of the bisimulation equivalence for the (P,P)-class of Process Rewrite Systems (PRS). Both these equivalences coincide with the bisimulation equivalence for (1,P)-subcla ss of (P,P)-PRS, which is known to be decidable. While it has been shown in the literature that resource similarity is undecidable for (P,P)-PRS, decidability of resource bisimilarity for (P,P)-PRS remained an open question. In this paper, we present an algorithm for checking resource bisimilarity for (P,P)-PRS. We show that although both resource similarity and resource bisimilarity are congruences and have a finite semi-linear basis, only the latter is decidable.

Two of the most studied extensions of trace and testing equivalences to nondeterministic and probabilistic processes induce distinctions that have been questioned and lack properties that are desirable. Probabilistic trace-distribution equivalence di fferentiates systems that can perform the same set of traces with the same probabilities, and is not a congruence for parallel composition. Probabilistic testing equivalence, which relies only on extremal success probabilities, is backward compatible with testing equivalences for restricted classes of processes, such as fully nondeterministic processes or generative/reactive probabilistic processes, only if specific sets of tests are admitted.

We study the problem of formalizing and checking probabilistic hyperproperties for models that allow nondeterminism in actions. We extend the temporal logic HyperPCTL, which has been previously introduced for discrete-time Markov chains, to enable th e specification of hyperproperties also for Markov decision processes. We generalize HyperPCTL by allowing explicit and simultaneous quantification over schedulers and probabilistic computation trees and show that it can express important quantitative requirements in security and privacy. We show that HyperPCTL model checking over MDPs is in general undecidable for quantification over probabilistic schedulers with memory, but restricting the domain to memoryless non-probabilistic schedulers turns the model checking problem decidable. Subsequently, we propose an SMT-based encoding for model checking this language and evaluate its performance.
