Abstract

A predicate logic of probability, close to the logics of probability of Halpern et al., is introduced. Our main result concerns the following model-checking problem: deciding whether a given formula holds on the structure defined by a given finite probabilistic process. We show that this model-checking problem is decidable for a rather large subclass of formulas of a second-order monadic logic of probability. We discuss also the decidability of satisfiability and compare our logic of probability with the probabilistic temporal logic pCTL*.
