On the expressivity of the modal mu-calculus

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

We analyse the complexity of the sets of states, in certain classes of infinite systems, that satisfy formulae of the modal mu-calculus. Improving on some of our earlier results, we establish a strong upper bound (namely Δ 2 1). We also establish various lower bounds and restricted upper bounds, incidentally providing another proof that the mu-calculus alternation hierarchy does not collapse at level 2.
