Abstract

The maximal strong and weak bisimulations on any class of processes can be obtained cis the limits of decreeising chains of binary relations, approximants. In the case of strong bisimulation and Bcisic Process Algebrais this chain has length at most ω which enables semidecidability of strong bisimilarity. We show that it is not so for weak bisimulation where the chain can grow much longer, and discuss the implications this has for (semi)decidability of weak bisimilarity.
