Inferring Expected Runtimes of Probabilistic Integer Programs Using Expected Sizes

Logic in Computer Science 2021-01-26 v3

Abstract

We present a novel modular approach to infer upper bounds on the expected runtime of probabilistic integer programs automatically. To this end, it computes bounds on the runtime of program parts and on the sizes of their variables in an alternating way. To evaluate its power, we implemented our approach in a new version of our open-source tool KoAT.
