Quantitative Equational Reasoning
, 2020 Equational logic has been a central theme in mathematical reasoning and in reasoning about programs. We introduce a quantitative analogue of equational reasoning that allows one to reason about approximate equality. The equality symbol is annotated with a real number that describes how far apart two terms can be. We develop the counterparts of standard

Expectations or Guarantees? I Want It All! A crossroad between games and MDPs [PDF]
, 2014 When reasoning about the strategic capabilities of an agent, it is important to consider the nature of its adversaries. In the particular context of controller synthesis for quantitative specifications, the usual problem is to devise a strategy for a ...
