Bisimulation equivalence of a BPP and a finite-state system can be decided in polynomial time
AbstractIn this paper we consider the problem of deciding bisimulation equivalence of a BPP and a finite-state system. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time and we present an algorithm deciding the problem in time O(n4). The algorithm also constructs for each state of the finite-state system a ‘symbolic’ semilinear representation of the set of all states of the BPP system which are bisimilar with this state
