A Game Characterization for Contrasimilarity

Computer Science and Game Theory 2021-08-25 v1 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

We present the first game characterization of contrasimilarity, the weakest form of bisimilarity. The game is finite for finite-state processes and can thus be used for contrasimulation equivalence checking, of which no tool has been capable to date. A machine-checked Isabelle/HOL formalization backs our work and enables further use of contrasimilarity in verification contexts.
