A Lean-Congruence Format for EP-Bisimilarity

Logic in Computer Science 2023-09-01 v1

Abstract

Enabling preserving bisimilarity is a refinement of strong bisimilarity, which preserves safety as well as liveness properties. To define it properly, labelled transition systems needed to be upgraded with a successor relation, capturing concurrency between transitions enabled in the same state. We enrich the well-known De Simone format to handle inductive definitions of this successor relation. We then establish that ep-bisimilarity is a congruence for the operators, as well as lean congruence for recursion, for all (enriched) De Simone languages.
