Labelled Markov processes /

Labelled Markov processes are probabilistic versions of labelled transition systems with continuous state spaces. The book covers basic probability and measure theory on continuous state spaces and then develops the theory of LMPs. The main topics covered are bisimulation, the logical characterizati...
