Programming Languages 2021-03-31 v1

Abstract

In this article, we present a semantics-level adaption of the Optional Stopping Theorem, sketch an expected-cost analysis as its application, and survey different variants of the Optional Stopping Theorem that have been used in static analysis of probabilistic programs.
