Linear-Invariant Generation for Probabilistic Programs: Automated Support for Proof-Based Methods

摘要

We present a constraint-based method for automatically generating quantitative invariants for linear probabilistic programs, and we show how it can be used, in combination with proof-based methods, to verify properties of probabilistic programs that cannot be analysed using existing automated methods. To our knowledge, this is the first automated method proposed for quantitative-invariant generation.
