Probabilistic applicative bisimulation is a recently introduced coinductive
methodology for program equivalence in a probabilistic, higher-order, setting.
In this paper, the technique is applied to a typed, call-by-value,
lambda-calculus. Surprisingly, the obtained relation coincides with context
equivalence, contrary to what happens when call-by-name evaluation is
considered. Even more surprisingly, full-abstraction only holds in a symmetric
setting.Comment: 30 page
