Branching bisimilarity is a behavioural equivalence relation on labelled transition systems that takes internal actions into account. It has the traditional advantage that algorithms for branching bisimilarity are more efficient than all…

We study the bisimilarity problem for probabilistic pushdown automata (pPDA) and subclasses thereof. Our definition of pPDA allows both probabilistic and non-deterministic branching, generalising the classical notion of pushdown automata…
